a minor change having a large effect
This kind of usage--where the actual words refer to different things though they are presented together--is not unheard of. There's a word I'm not remembering for a usage such as, "He put on his jacket and his courage". Is 'small but immense' the same type of usage? (I'm thinking not, but I haven't been awake very long.)
