If you are familiar with Medieval relics then you should be familiar with how poor the quality of many, of not most, were. One of the best cases for the Shroud being legitimate is that it's far more accurate than it needs to be and far more accurate than it should be. It includes fine details not only of the effects crucificion and other wounds on a person but also details of a Jewish burial. If a Medieval forger created this relic out of wholecloth, so to speak, why is it so quirky and accurate? Why aren't there more relics like it?

Those are very good points. I'm open-minded enough to certainly be curious of an objective age-dating process on this Shroud; however, given the corruption of the Medieval Church (the body politic Church, not the Catholic faith), I'm still in the 'It's a Fake' category until I see something more irrefutable.
