 Kyburg might answer that there is a scale effect. Although the sensation of joint inconsistency is tolerable when diffusely distributed over a large body of propositions, the sensation becomes an itch when the inconsistency localizes (Knight 2002). That is why paradoxes are always represented as a small set of propositions. A paradox is improved by reducing its membership — as when a member of the set is exposed as superfluous to the inconsistency. (Strictly speaking, a set can only change size in the metaphorical way that a number grows or shrinks.)
