Will this be the definitive opinion?

No matter what Oxford presents, there will be skeptics.

Unfortunately, you are probably right.

This will be interesting, regardless of the outcome.

Contrary to what this article infers, Oxford is NOT retesting any Shroud material. The test results will have no bearing on the age of the Shroud of Turin.

They are testing other old Linens that have been exposed to fires. The reason the 1988 C-14 tests reported the dates they did is now known and has been peer-reviewed and the results duplicated: the sample taken from the Shroud for the 1988 tests violated protocols and contained approximately 40-60% newer linen threads that had been expertly rewoven into the older linen of the shroud to patch a damaged area.
