This hardly explains the pollen strains found on the fibers.

Exactly. But knowing the person's agenda makes it painfully obvious why he would neglect that tiny little datum in his "study."

Peter Jennings omitted mention of the organic and botanical archaeological evidence on the shroud when he proclaimed it a fake after the 1988 carbon dating test. But ash and soot from the fire which damaged the shroud would have thrown such tests off. So would taking a clipping from where it had been sewn and repaired later in its history. Articles which do not mention these are worthless and dishonest. Merely figuring out a way to create a similar image only presents a hypothetical. Not proof. That they have suppressed mention of the pollen evidence is revealing about their agenda.
