Obviously not. Try it. It helps.
Why yes indeed I have....for that, one does come to a quick conclusion if worth the time or effort to devote to a piece of cloth. People who want to believe so much that something more is there than actually is will of course take the research to extremes. Artifacts are interesting to find and appreciate...but I would rather examine a truly historical dig in the ME than something that for years now remains just a piece of cloth with unidentifiable ownership...and is all speculation at it's best.
