I partly agree. I think the evidence makes a strong case that it was a genuine burial cloth of a Roman-style crucifixion victim. But I think the history of the cloth and many characteristics of the cloth let us reasonably infer that it was Jesus' shroud.

What we do know -- and this is where things become very mysterious in irresolute -- the cloth had to have been separated from the deceased within about 30 hours before bodily decomposition products would have ravaged the cloth. How so?

We are also faced with the questions posed by the Sudarium of Oviedo. See:

To "infer" that it is Jesus' based on its' history and what we know about it (which is very little) is absurd.
