In a recent paper we have shown that most non-expansive Lipschitz functions (in the sense of Baire's category) have a maximal Clarke subdifferential. In the present paper, we show that in a separable Banach space the set of non-expansive Lipschitz functions with a maximal Clarke subdifferential is not only generic, but also staunch in the space of non-expansive functions.
