cffunction lets you define functions both inside and outside components - that's like other languages (i.e., same syntax for functions both inside and outside classes / whatever). Yet almost all OO languages call them 'methods' when they're inside a class / component - even tho' the same syntax defines them. So, it's CF's way of being a bit more consistent with other OO languages' terminology...
