The original search produced a great many extra pairs in which the /ɪə/ was not a diphthong but was two syllables, such as airy/area or collie/collier. These were discarded since they really belong in the schwa versus null column, being made by adding the schwa to /ɪ/.
The only pairs with taboo words are piss/pierce and quiz/queers.
