I don't understand why it is needed to set the author in the check.

I'm pattern matching call, the parameter that was passed into the function, against the variants of the Self::Call enum. set_author is not actually a function and I'm not calling it. It is a variant of the Self::Call enum. This is hard to read because typically enum variants are written in ThisCaseStandard. But the Call enum is an exception because of how the FRAME macros work.

That might be worthy of a comment, although that's probably true of a lot of other cases...

if_std!{
println!("Made it into the if let");
}
ensure!(
T::CanAuthor::can_author(&claimed_author),
InherentError::Other(sp_runtime::RuntimeString::Borrowed("Cannot Be Author"))
);
}


// This is the old logic. It is incorrect because it is based on what the inherent would
// have contained if the verifying node created it, rather than the actual inherent
// that the actual author created.
// let author_raw = data
// .get_data::<InherentType>(&INHERENT_IDENTIFIER)
// .expect("Gets and decodes authorship inherent data")
// .ok_or_else(|| {
// InherentError::Other(sp_runtime::RuntimeString::Borrowed(
// "Decode authorship inherent data failed",
// ))
// })?;
// let author =
// T::AccountId::decode(&mut &author_raw[..]).expect("Decodes author raw inherent data");
// ensure!(
// T::CanAuthor::can_author(&author),
// InherentError::Other(sp_runtime::RuntimeString::Borrowed("Cannot Be Author"))
// );
Ok(())
