"Cotton is just a lousy fiber. On the other hand, wool is a strong and resilient fiber. It also never needs to be washed provided it isn't stained."
You're mixing things up. Cotton is stronger than wool, cotton shirts last many years longer than wool shirts. It's less noticeable with sweaters simply because their fabric is thicker.
On the other hand, wool can be more comfortable to wear because it retains more heat and absorbs moisture better.

I suspected that since all my cotton shirts are perpetually wrinkled the fibers are weak. https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:bZuKb5YznrcJ:https://www.usc.edu/CSSF/History/2008/Projects/J1207.pdf+&cd=10&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:bZuKb5...
