Like I said 'semantics' ....
Setting a wire means giving it a tug to get it to grip in the right place and not move about ...
Setting a cam means making sure the lobes are well placed, balanced, etc and its in the right place ...
If I just throw it in I give it it a quick tug to test it, and have a quick look to see that it's set properly ...
Maybe I'm just using more marginal placements these days which really requires that these cams need to be set properly in order to get the best placement. Possibly my regular use of offset cams also factors in because I'm using techy placements where regular cammers wouldn't go ....

I still maintain that it is important for people, particularly beginners, to make sure there cams are set properly.
And yes I have had situation where setting a cam better would have made for easier removal, due to bad placement/setting causing additional issues ....
