but it had not 'stretched' (still don't get that steel 'stretches', wears out maybe).
Indeed, chains don't "stretch", the pins and link holes wear. This allows the chain to be pulled longer than it originally could. Another test for "stretch" is to remove the chain and bend it sideways (into an arc). The more you can do that, the more the chain is worn.
