I agree...even the way that it's lop-sided.
Personally I agree ... on both counts!

Do the HB's actually understand (maybe a word alien to their vocabulary...) that the gold foil is actually a layer of mylar to help with heat reflection? The main structure is comparatively solid underneath the mylar.... (correct me if I am wrong here.....)

Interestingly the mylar layer is not evident on any of the test modules, including the "giant gantry" test lander unit. Surely this could be shown as a (admittedly very small) piece of evidence that they actually went? It was only on the real LM's because it was REALLY NEEDED!! Without the mylar the LM looks more "functional", with the mylar layer it looks too "flimsy and childish" .... surely an argument, in a way, that the LM was real and did go to the moon.... (no doubt someone will show the HB answer to this.....)
