Sabok's S-Prime Simplex Questions

Sabok asked whether the compact convex set S(X)S'(X) attached to a separable metric space of diameter at most one is always a simplex, and whether S(U1)S'(\mathbb{U}_1) is the Poulsen simplex. Both answers are negative, with obstructions already visible for finite XX and for the Urysohn space.
