Let's say Alice wants to send Bob 1 HUSH and she has 11 shielded outputs of amount 0.01, which add up to 1.1 HUSH. That gives her enough to send 1 HUSH to Bob and to pay the transaction fee of 0.0001 HUSH.
Her shielded transaction will have 11 shielded inputs. On Zcash and Pirate coins, the transaction will have two outputs, and therefore *decrease* the anonset by 9. This can often happen when miners get many small regular payments from a mining pool, then they spend the funds.

This can often happen when miners get many small regular payments from a mining pool, then they spend the funds. It's possible to have hundreds and potentially up to about 1000 shielded inputs in a transaction. This means a single transaction can reduce the anonset size by up to 1000 and therefore a single block can drastically change the anonset size.
If Alice used Hush, Sietch would increase the number of outputs to 8, and therefore the anonset would only *decrease* by 3. Sietch helps to keep the anonset larger. In general, when Alice only needs to spent 1 input, Sietch *increases* the anonset by 7 or 8, depending on if there is change.
