Tried arguing with my uncle about the moon landing using YouTube clips versus actual NASA documents

He kept sending me these hour long videos with shaky editing, so I finally downloaded the Apollo 11 mission reports from the NASA archives. Having the original technical data, like the specific thruster burn times and fuel loads, shut down every single one of his 'anomaly' points in about 20 minutes. What's the best source you've found to actually settle these kinds of arguments for good?

Maybe those videos are right and the documents are fake too.

Original documents are the only thing that works, in my experience.

I used to believe copies were good enough until I tried to renew my passport. The office turned me away because my birth certificate copy had a tiny smudge. Had to wait weeks for a new original to arrive.
