It'a not painfully obvious, in fact it's downright obtuse and has
confused people since the dawn of AppleScript.
If you've ever programmed in a language like C that uses pointer
then you can think of set as being a command for copying pointers
and copy being a command for data.
This is true for some things, like lists, records and dates. It is not
true for other things, like strings and numbers.
