But, it won't make a difference in the faith or doctrine of anyone else.

I beg to differ. The author of the book: 'The Resurrection of the Shroud', Mark Antonacci was a committed agnostic and lawyer. He was drawn into this topic as the result of an article in a newspaper, promoting a book on the subject. He writes:

"I purchased the book featured in the article, as well as other books and articles on the subject. In the following years, I acquired access to practically everything that has ever been printed in the English language on the Shroud, as well as translations of major foreign publications. I have always been interested in history and am an attorney by training, and as I seriously considered the potential implications of all of the evidence, I realized this one matter could be more important than all of the cases that had ever been argued before the Supreme Court."

As a result of his research, Mark Antonacci became a christian.

I have read some on the Shroud, but not enough to draw any conclusions. If it is genuine, it has apologetic value as your post notes.
