> A Set is not creating a Set of Humans and then a view of that Set where Skill contains Musician. This is completely useless when it comes to introducing data science terminology like “Set”. It’s Notion, but less useful.

I do agree with your criticism, and hopefully this can be [improved in the future](https://community.anytype.io/t/advanced-filters-queries/4067), but it seems like you are being a bit pedantic about the terminology. The word set is not meant to be used literally in this context.

And as it was previously mentioned by @Neuru, sets and collections will most likely be merged in the future.
