That makes sense to me. Living in a more dangerous world would burn away the weakness quickly. It would be something similar to Army basic training I imagine. I've never been more fit and thin in my life than I was after those months of intense work. Or do you mean more of a super human strength as compared to other people of that reduced size?

I think if there were already a hole or weakness in the fabric, the smaller person could exploit that to rip the fabric. I couldn't tear my heavy winter blanket down the middle, but if it has a hole then the strength has already been compromised.
