Oh, oh. I misread your post. I see what you're saying, and I guess that's fair.

For what it's worth, the launch from the moon was orders of magnitude less difficult than the launch from the earth. The LM weighed much less (both less massive and lower gravity), didn't need to last long after the launch, there were no atmospheric effects, didn't need any more fuel on board than was required for the launch itself, etc etc etc.

Again, if it feels nicer to believe you've been lied to, that's up to you. I'm quite comfortable with the official story.
