... this post is probably far too long.
Around 16' :« All we have to do is make these contact surfaces bigger. Because the force to put two fibers apart is proportional to the contact surfaces. And how can you make those bigger? You make longer fibers. And then you can twist them even more and the contact surface grows in proportion with the length of the fiber. And at some point you would need more force to pull two apart, than you would need to rupture one. »I had no clue. That sure gives some hopes.
