[nit]You have trips. A set is when you have a pp and the third is on the board.[/nit]

The semantics of it doesn't really matter. The difference is the strength of the hand. SSHE says that trips (one in your hand, two on the board) are weaker than a set (two in your hand, one on the board) because someone could have the same trips as you, but with a better kicker; furthermore, the paired board will spook all opponents into caution while a set is more deceptive, therefore you will collect tons of extra bets.
I'd also add that the paired board means anyone who has hit a "set" with the odd card actually has a full house, and you're drawing very thin.
