I disagree, I'm not well-versed in math but I felt I could follow most of it.

What I don't get though is the jump from the mobius strip to the klein bottle.

He just goes and does it and duplicates the surface to reflect it to the original one. I do understand to some extent that once you have to assume the klein bottle is the shape you're looking for that because it's self intersecting, it must mean that you have 2 different points on that same surface and therefore 2 lines of equal length with the same midpoint.
