Neutrino astronomy on the earth is currently signal-limited, rather than background-limited. Thus the absence of atmospheric muon background on the moon does not provide any obvious advantage in the search for point sources, although some advantage may exist for diffuse sources. A lunar detector for neutrino astronomy will still have to be as large as any on earth. The earlier suggestion that a window around 1 GeV exists, where backgrounds on earth are large, is shown to not provide for likely detectable sources.
