* This * We are arguing, not about an element in a formal grammar, but about a glossary entry. If one of my Python students asks me, "What's a method?", I'm not going to go into a technical explanation like this; I want to answer with a single sentence that covers the bit that matters. (Though I'd probably define it from the other perspective - it's "an object attribute that you can call", perhaps - but if the question came from a class definition, "a function defined inside a class" would be fine.)
