I'll know it when I see it. So far I've seen nothing.

I wish you well with that endeavour, unfortunately I don’t think I can provide the evidence, I will however try to qualify my criticism of David Percy as an expert.
Regarding Mr Percy’s comments on the parallel shadows; we are looking at single point perspective and parallel lines however they are created will appear to converge at infinity and the point of infinity relates to the point of observation. This is not impressive stuff, far from it, most schoolchildren should be aware of this fact. For photographer not to know this is unbelievable, therefore it suggests that he is either a complete idiot or he is being deliberately misleading, ether way it does bring his ability as an expert into question.
To emphasise my point, here are three pictures, the first, is the one in question from the Apollo mission, the second is taken from a similar viewpoint to demonstrates how parallel lines appear to converge, the third is of sun created shadows showing that shadow lines also appear to converge although in this picture the convergence point is out of frame.
As to the effects of light on reflective surfaces here is a link to a site that deals with this (also other issues, including parallel lines) in relation to the moon and its lack of atmosphere.
