Is it me not understanding this table and diagram or something? If in a Moore machine, the output only depends on the current state Then why does the table for states F and H say the output is independent of the input? At F, if the input is a 0 the state changes to I and output would be a 1 At F, if the input is a 1 the state stays the same at F and the output would be a 0
The state table does not reflect this?
The state table should show multiple outputs...

Because if it depends only on the current state, then it can't also depend on the inputs.
The inputs determine whether you get to a certain state. But after you're in that state the output only depends on the state. Assuming a typical clocked design, the output doesn't change instantly if the inputs change before the next clock edge. And it only changes at the clock edge if the changed inputs lead to a new state.
