No, it's precisely accurate. While the meaning is clear in this case,
failure to use proper terminology on a technical mailing list can cause
confusion resulting in more noise and wasted time. A method is a method.
A function is a function.
A method is simply a subclass of function, it being a functional member
of an object. While I agree that saying method in this case is more
precise than function, using the term function is still accurate.
Also, the answer to the OP's question had nothing to do with the
function being a member of an object. The answer and question apply to
the larger set of functions of which method is a member.
Drawing distinctions in cases where they are not needed is also a waste
of time. As three of us have now wasted our time on this semantic
discussion. ;)
Cheers,
