  • This is explicitly described as avoiding entrapment. I don’t see it as reasonable to take any political or theological teaching from this. Especially since Jesus left the Pharisees to make the connection and avoided telling anybody to pay taxes.

    Paying the Imperial Tax to Caesar (NIV)

    15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. 16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are. 17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax[a] to Caesar or not?”

    18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”

    21 “Caesar’s,” they replied.

    Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

    22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.

    Tall poppies is about criticising people who are boastful and self-aggrandising, not mocking people for wearing clothes they like.

  • A switch is an electromechanical component that can open or close one or more circuits. There are many types of switch, with whole sets of nomenclature depending on how specific you want to get. A keyboard switch is an example of a momentary normally-open single pole - single throw (mom NO SPST) switch [1]

    A button is a user interface / mechanical design component which protudes from a surface and can be manually actuated.[2]

    You can have each without the other.

    While a keyboard switch can be used as a button, it’s not designed for the purpose, it’s designed to have a keycap installed, at which point you do indeed have a button. When we are talking about keyswitches though, we’re specifically interested in the electromechanical component, not the portion that a user pushes.
