    There exist several notions which make it possible to measure the ``smallness'' of a set, the most important ones being a nullset or a set of first category. A stronger notion is that of \(\sigma\)-porosity. Sharpening a previous result in C. R. Acad. Sci. Canada 22, No. 3, 118-124 (2000; Zbl 0971.47039), the authors show that the set of all nonexpansive maps on a fixed bounded closed convex set which are not contractive is \(\sigma\)-porous.
