It is not a "fake to", or a "fake too". But it is a sign of desperation when people observe a supposed "sign" from God in an image on a taco, or caused by sprinklers on glass, or a substance put on a cloth (no one is allowing a test of the substance.... it might render the whole worship of a cloth as moot).

Really, the most powerful force in the universe, God, is going to hint around with a "message" by putting his image on a cloth (a poor rendition, too) or appear and disappear. If gravity were a sometime thing, or every few years, the sun "stopped in the sky", or if it were inexplicably "night" for a 2-3 days, then we could expect odd curiosities from a Supreme Being. As I have mentioned, if God was indeed God, he merely has to put a large monolith smack dab in the middle of a large city, with all his wishes and desires for man spelled out, and the world would be united and happy. Not an "image" on a "shroud".

Relics such as the shroud, or the Spear of Destiny, or the Holy Grail would have been noted much earlier, and probably enshrined in Bizantium had they been preserved for 2000 years.
