It was an example of the difference. Explaining shorting vs connection. Thought I explained it well.

Maybe the one example of the spark plug was problematic explaining shorts. The other was not. Yes nomenclature matters. Point was current finds the easiest path. Not a good example with the spark plug I guess or I should have added more to it. Why you are here.

"Technically, the button doesn't "short" the circuit...it "closes" the circuit. Like has been mentioned above, a "short" indicates an anomaly of some sort. Clear as mud, huh! DD"
