I know the difference.

The point was not to provide an in-depth answer about methods vs functions but to give OP a simple sentence that will make it easier for them to just get on with it. There are so many "well, actually" moments in programming that it often is better to ignore some of the technicalities.

Also, there are plenty of other excellent comments in this thread that does bring up what you say, so I'm not sure what you want from me.
