CuriousMarc did not restore the AGC

CuriousMarc has made several videos in which he claims that he has restored the AGC, that he has made it work again.
But, in fact, it is nothing but an illusion, for:
1) CuriousMark has not connected the memory modules to the modern computer, but signals which allow to drive the luminous indications of the DSKY, the 7-Segments, and the luminous indicators, and these signals do not allow to read the memory of the AGC.
2) The program he makes run on the modern computer has absolutely nothing to do with what the original program would do (supposing it could actually work), for it does not use the devices that the original AGC was using, it uses no radar, and no gyroscopes, and, even if CuriousMarc claims to have connected accelerometers to the modern computer, these accelerometers always give the same information, and so are irrelevant; CuriousMarc uses the handcontroller even in the phases of the descent in which the AGC exclusively had the control of the lunar module, which means that actions that the astronauts could have made on the handcontroller in these phases would have had no effect at that moment; the program is nothing else but a simulation, a sort of video game, which has absolutely nothing to do with the original program of the AGC (or what it was supposed to be).
In fact, CuriousMarc has absolutely no clue, he randomly picks signals from the AGC, shows them on a scope, but he does not really know their function.
And, even if CuriousMarc could really have read the memory of the AGC, what he would have read would have been inconsistent, for, the way that this memory is described in the documentation of the AGC, this memory could simply not work, and I explain why in detail in this document:
