I don't think so and sometime Ken I see people wanting to just bury their heads in these lunar sands.
I agree with some of what you say. We will solve the problem of the dust on the Moon to some extent. Not soon enough to make CAPS from the Moon sensible, but we will some day.
I doubt we will be using hemp coveralls as a solution though. Want a simple test to see if any one fabric will work for this task. Take some talcum powder and put a bunch into a piece of cloth and tie it tight then pound it against a desk or a wall. Does powder remain on the surface? Then this fabric wasn't a solution to the dust problem. I suggest instead of labeling things bogeyman BS you go about helping solve problems. Denying it exists or making out it is a minor problem is not helping. Please look at these four images especially the last one.
...Gene Cernan rests inside the lunar module Challenger. Note the smudges of dust on his longjohns and forehead.
