Do you habitually leave out context that changes the entire point of the article?


So basically, this research group has found the the probability that the Shroud is a fake is low. Hey, that sounds important! But wait... they started off by assuming that the previous research which has shown that the Shroud could have been created with pigments on linen was wrong? So basically, they're making a completely unjustified assumption in order to come to a conclusion that justifies their belief that the Shroud might very well be legitimate.

This is non-news. Previous research still shows that the Shroud could have been created with pigments on linen. You don't need to use UV light to make the Shroud, so this study is intellectually dishonest. No surprise, there.
