Bad logic...flawed historiography. There were known fakes that circulated during the medieval period, therefore this one must be a fake.

Maybe Senior Lambatti ain't been keeping up with current events. There are way too many inexplicable issues about the Shroud, to seriously contemplate a medieval fake. His claim is not credible on the face of it.
