Abstract: We show that for any class of uniformly bounded functions $ H$ with a reasonable combinatorial dimension, the vast majority of small subsets of the $ n$-dimensional combinatorial cube cannot be represented as a Lipschitz image of a subset of $ H$, unless the Lipschitz constant is very large. We apply this result to the case when $ H$ consists of linear functionals of norm at most one on a Hilbert space.
