Before we went to the moon there was a lot of “new evidence” that the lander would sink into the dust that MUST have accumulated on the lunar surface, never to be seen again.
There was no such evidence. You’re thinking of Arthur C Clarke’s book Fall of Moondust.

Asimov promulgated that fiction also.

Sure there was, that was where the idea for the book came from.
You are aware that Arthur C Clarke was a member of the British Interplanetary Society?
He was a serious scientist as well as a futurist.
NASA was worried about it and breathed a huge sigh of relief when it didn't happen.
