Chandrayaan-1’s lunar orbiter confirms how the water is being produced. The Sub keV Atom reflecting Analyzer (SARA) corroborates that electrically charged particles from the Sun interact with the oxygen present in some dust grains on the lunar surface to produce water.

This is why we have large OH readings from comets, it's being created in the coma, and this is why the readings are stronger further away from the nucleus,

Actually the readings are stronger further away because water vapor is not nearly as massive as dust particles and is not as easily bound by the comet's loose gravity.

Of course there's no proof of that, it's an excuse. In fact it's quite ridiculous.
And entirely different from your last excuse If I recall.
And the fact that most of the comet surfaces that have been viewed have been bone dry, no where near enough water has been detected on the surface to account for the OH readings.
See the pattern? they tuck things away that can't be observed or measured just like your gravity explanation that defies logic.
And that's what it is OH not H20, for over 50 years they have assumed that OH must be the remnant of H2O broken down by photolysis. Well guess what? there's another process. H20 is not needed.
