I could have worded that more clearly. I wasn't disputing power button on the bottom is odd as much as thinking that Apple brought the keyboard power button back. Maybe it was the TouchID on the keyboard, but on their laptops that is also the power button, so possibly just an assumption on my part.
Oh, no I think you were clear enough, it's probably me that wasn't clear. I tried to find evidence that people were able to power on their Mac Mini in ways other than via the power button on the machine, such as a button on a keyboard. I couldn't find that, everyone just said that the physical power button on the machine is the only way.
