Because of the severe impact history of the early Moon and the consequent heating and metamorphism of lunar samples, the conventional K-Ar method is not particularly useful in the study of lunar rock formation because it tends to date the latest heating and impact events rather than original rock ages.
It doesn't say regular meteor hits, it says the impacts occurred to "the early moon," which would not cause argon dating to be much more recent than other methods.
So when one uses K-Ar dating on lunar rocks, it shows that they are younger because what is being shown is the date of the last heat and impact event, not the age of the actual rocks, which would fit in with the other brackets, presumably. I don't get what you're missing, here.
