I don't need to read the link you supplied: McCrone claimed paint, but only submitted faulty samples to independent testers.

If he makes the claim it is up to him to substantiate it or to allow independent tests without interference.

And of course, you still ignore the actual presence of blood and of caramelized fibers inconsistent with paint.

The only criticisms of Rogers' work come from people with an axe to grind, who curiously enough only reference each other, and don't get accepted for independent peer-review publication.

Cheers, you lovable troll, you.

McCrone published his findings in three different journals, all peer-reviewed -- The Microscope, Wiener Berichte uber Naturwissenschaft in der Kunst, and Accounts of Chemical Research. Claims to the contrary turn out to be false, which is little surprise to me since they never sounded right. http://www.mcri.org/home/section/63-64/the-shroud-of-turin

It's his results, and those of corroborating teams like the Carbon 14 testers, which are highly respected in the mainstream scientific community.
