Lots of reasons.  Presumably Kypris doesn’t show Silk his own head gasping.  And I don;t think she’s trying to trick him either.  Also, in RttW he seems to play a role in Pas/Silk that is greater than Piaton’s role in Typhon/Piaton.  And it fits with the concept of the evolution of our idea of god which Wolfe seems to imply in the text.
