People have used stuff like that that in their defense of the moon hoax claims.When astronaut John Young said," It's absolutely unreal." the conspiracy theorists pounced on it. I think it is mentioned in the infamous Fox special.

...but when many crews report a "quiet ride" on the LM DPS/APS, they ignore it...

Didn't the "there is a santa" (??) get twisted into something?

Yes, on Apollo 8, after the spacecraft rounded the Moon on its way back to Earth, Jim Lovell concluded his description of the Trans-Earth Injection burn with the words, "Please be advised, there is a Santa Claus."
This was taken by UFO nuts as a coded phrase meaning they'd sighted an alien spacecraft.
What I think he meant was that the successful burn by the SPS engine was the best Christmas present the crew could get.

Actually, I thought it might mean that since there isn't really a Santa Claus, but he's saying there is then, they are also saying the Apollo 8 was real where as in fact...  |

No, it is quite clear what he meant. I could not remember who interpreted it as something else.
