Are you saying that that is true for all systems? Or just the earth/moon in present "initial" conditions.

I mean, other then tensile strength, there is no limit to the angular momentum of an Earth-sized planet, so there should be no (theoretical) limit to how much could be transferred to an Earth-like-planet's Moon-like-moon --- or am I missing something?
