Said differently: its not an embedding on a continuous manifold? The construction of simplexes is such that infinite curvature could exist?

I mean I imagine it is an embedding in the rigorous sense in some cases. Can't really prove it, though. The issue isn't really about curvature so much as distances, though. Can't flatten an object homeopathic (not necessarily diffeomorphic) to a sphere without introducing mega distortion in the metric space sense
