: What does it matter if somebody put "momentary" in the name or not since they function as momentary switches?
: Isn't a rose still a rose no matter what name it is called?
The point is that there is still a subtle distinction to be made here, otherwise those "momentary pushbuttons" would not exist on Happ's website! Or, to put it another way, there would be more of those m's on people's cabinets, unless they are built for a specific purpose that nobody here seems to know about.
OK, screw it. I'm going to phone or E-mail them up myself and post the answer I get here.
BTW, there are various types of roses, different enough that botanists make a distinction: bush roses, climbing roses, tree roses, species and shrub roses, old garden roses, gallica roses, damask roses, alba roses, centifolia and moss roses, china roses, bourbon and portland roses, tea roses, noisette roses, hybrid perpetual roses, miniature roses etc. etc. In a similar fashion, you wouldn't call a Southeast Asian a "Chinaman" if you knew that there were a dozen more Oriental cultures.
