"To sit" is an intransitive verb. It describes an action undertaken by the grammatical subject of a clause, but it cannot take a direct object: the verb "to sit" does not express the kind of action that can be DONE TO anything.
"To set" is a transitive verb. It describes an action and needs a direct object because it describes the kind of action that is DONE TO something. That is, something or someone in the sentence has to be receiving the action expressed by the verb.
Again:Do you think he had to be high to use "set" vs "sit". More of an education process don't you think? Was looking for the words "setted or satted" to appear somewhere in the paragraph.
At least he got the abbreviation for BS right.
