The moon does rotate otherwise we wouldn't have the same side facing us
all the time.

The only person ever to propose something as hideous as a spinning
moon did so barely a paragraph after he has Venus turn once in 23
hours and the Earth to stellar circumpolar motion in 24 hours ! -

They did put up somewhat of a struggle in the middle of the 19th
century to reason their way out of something that is dysfunctional as
a spinning moon but failed as your response demonstrates and so it
remains that there are people who make an effort to justify a spinning
moon and others who know no better follow them.

The fact is that planets do turn once to the central Sun as the polar
coordinates are carried around in a circle thereby replacing axial
precession as a long term axial trait to an annual orbital trait and
responsible for the polar day/night cycle -

No point in throwing good information after something as dumb as a
spinning moon,that it is even entertained demonstrates a type of
mental slavery which the wider world knows little about.
