But if you listen to the original recording, they actually said a bunch more technical stuff after "engine stop" which has been edited out of most recordings that we hear today.
Also, Amstrong's "one small step" quote is often edited. He left a long pause in the middle which is sometimes included but sometimes edited out.
Similarly, delays due to signal travel time have probably been edited out of many recordings for inclusion in documentary programs etc.
So any claim that there are inconsistencies in the delays, must be based on original (not edited) recordings.
Can you give references to the recordings you are talking about?

You must be correct
.
Editing is the only way I can see delay would not be present
.
AS to a particular tape I wont suggest any as I would never admit to looking at some of the stuff I have looked at today
for fear of being labeled the same as the nutters who put some of these things together
...
However it is easy to call up footage of the landing and events surrounding the landing and rather than suggest one in particular I suggest you look ..at random..and decide from what you observe.
I am not pushing anything here but if my observation is reasonable it will be clear in any unedited footage...
If not edited the lack of delay is interesting.
I might see if NASA have footage and see what comes from that.
