While I agree he was unnecessarily harsh, call me a terminology nit but I believe it's important to distinguish between the two when discussing hands.  I'm less concerned that OP technically called it wrong than about whether he realizes the difference -- a set being a much stronger hand than trips, which are more vulnerable to better kickers and full houses (as happened here).  It should definitely change the way you evaluate your equity and affect your decisions in the hand.

So while some may consider the terminology interchangeable (I don't but again I'm OCD about correct terminology), I will argue the hands themselves certainly are NOT interchangeable.

As played I'd have to agree.

This.  Beginning players usually overvalue AJ, especially in early positions.  This is really a foldable hand in EP with when stacks are deep/blinds are small.  Very easy to get in trouble with and build too big a pot when you aren't sure where you are post-flop.
