I know it's been a week, but I checked and no one else has corrected this.
It is not correct, regardless of how many times it is said.
A set can be ordered or unordered. What makes it a set is that it does not
contain more than one item with the same value. Note that the determination
of value is fundamental to the semantics of the set.
