your posts don't even reach that level. At least a ‘devil's advocate’ would do some serious research - if you did, you'd see that your postulations have been debunked long ago.
I'm not answering your latest post to convince you of anything, as your many long posts show that you are dedicated to denying even the scientific evidence. You have your reasons for wanting to convince people it's a fraud - and you are welcome to them.
I post only to, hopefully, help others not to take your word on any of what you post...but to do their own research...even it's only to watch the History channels latest documentary “Is this the Face of Jesus” - link below - which will air again on the 10th.
It really is the best one I've seen so far - and I have been following for decades -
But for anyone who hasn't studied The Shroud, this documentary is a great place to start - and then there's Barrie M. Schwortz’s web site (He was one of the original scientists of the STURP team in 1978)

Barrie's Web site - decades of research:
This is what I mean when I say that some of the Shroud's defenders go over the line into attacking and denigrating people who are simply pointing out opposing points of view.
You completely misunderstood my earlier posts about the historical record, ignored my careful explanation, and you continue to adopt an aggressive, dismissive, hectoring tone.
Anybody who questions the 'received wisdom' is a trifling, ignorant person who has not bothered to read anything and has some concealed and no doubt evil reason for 'wanting to convince people it's a fraud.'
If you want to convince waverers or doubters, attributing evil motives is the surest way NOT to accomplish your goal.
