Not vouching one way or the other for the AMA, but he claims that Armstrong is in the "astronaut saluting the flag" picture (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dd/Buzz_salu...), not the one where you can see the "E Aldrin" name tag.

Yeah, that's a good point, but he also says this: "So that's who I said it was. When Aldrin came back, he told me no, first thing Armstrong did was pass the camera back to me."

It's still hard for me to believe they were passing the camera back and forth. That, with all the other inaccuracies, lead me to believe it's fake. Why someone would purposefully fake that I don't know...
