On different occasions, the same word may or may not express the concept of set. For example, "man" is a set concept in the judgment that "man is transformed from an ape", because not everyone has the nature of being transformed from an ape; In the judgment of Zhang San is a man, "man" is a non-set concept, which refers to an animal like man or one of its molecules.
