  That’s not a short, by definition.

    Isn’t it? You’re shorting the battery terminals by connecting them directly, it’s just a shitty wire lol

      The body is a resistor, limiting the fire of the system in the same way if a lamp would be in the circuit.

      A short is a circuit with ideally no impedance, there isn’t an ideal circuit and one can debate how much resistance would invalidate the term ‘short circuit’ so both of you might be right.

        Yeah I think closing the circuit might be more accurate than shorting it in this case. That’s how we referred to it when I was training to be an electrician.
