Oct 8, 2016 at 8:20 comment added Fedor Petrov @PaataIvanisvili just a note: since dimension $n$ is arbitrary, this does not look very helpful, we may always assume that $|X|\leqslant n+1$ simply by embedding $E^n\subset E^{|X|-1}$. This is why we could expect a dimension-free proof, like that given below, a priori.

Oct 8, 2016 at 2:40 comment added Paata Ivanishvili By Caratheodory's theorem it is enough to consider only the case when $X$ has $n+1$ points.
