Chris, in my opinion your argument is so bad that I can let it stand without need of reply, except for its very last item -

As Nick pointed out below, the very smallest impactors do not make it to the surface of Mars, whereas on the Moon they do. That's where the lunar tektites are - pounded to dust.

Actual you may have one point. The Micrometeorites have destroyed most lunar tektites. Still some recently created ones must remain and some of those would have been picked up by the USA's 12 astronauts or the USSR sample returns. They would presumably be more abundance than on Mars. Also we have small spherical glass beads and other small intact samples from our Lunar trips.
