They may be called "functions" in the programming language you use but they are conceptually not "functions" as understood by the Functional Programming community and mathematics. This discussion about Alan Kay's "concept" of Object Orientation is much on the conceptual level, so we need to also consider that is the "concept" of 'Function'.
