Indeed, a wonderful proof. It does, though, make one implicit assumption that if one stretches the fabric by the same amount, all holes in it stretch by the same amount. In particular, it assumes that triangle stretching is size-independent. Perhaps there are fabrics where that is not true...
You mean non-Euclidean fabric?
