The point is that when you have trips, way more hands beat you since it's so much easier for your opponent to also have trips or to have a full house. You could maybe argue that trips top kicker is better than bottom set, but that's about it.

a set is obviously stronger in absolute strength, and you probably win more on average per hand with them, but i think trips account for a bigger part of a winning player's long-term profits. most people play paired boards so terribly.
