What is the point of this doctrine? Is it to imply that Mary is sinless?

Matthew 1:23-25

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

Obviously it means quite a bit to you because you are willing to go out of your way to try to show that this is wrong.

Why do you care so much?

Forget it. There's also an 11 page "spin" by Jerome that explains the word "till" doesn't mean what you think it means. :-)
