My question: Is there any difference?
I think you should make the distinction "class versus instance attribute"
rather than "mether versus function".
If you look at the `__dict__` of an instance, you see only the
instance variables (the class's `__dict__` gives you the (most) attributes
of the class).
You can access (most) class attributes via an instance;
if a function is accessed in this way, it becomes (typically) a method.
