Reset switch pullup resistor placement
Could the resistor just as well be placed between ground and the switch, with the reset pin connected directly to the power rail?




Figure 1. The pull-down resistor idea.

I suspect that if you had drawn the circuit out as shown in Figure 1 that you would see the error of your thinking. (Note that it makes no difference whether R3 is above or below SW1 as it is a simple series circuit.)

When SW1 is press EN is still at V+ and R3 is now connected between V+ and ground so, for a 5 V supply 0.5 mA will flow through it. EN will not be affected.

The idea with a pull-up is that it is strong enough to hold EN high in normal conditions but weak enough that when a direct short to ground is applied only a limited current will flow. You can think of R3 in your original diagram as acting a little like a rubber band pulling EN high and when EN is pulled low the band stretches without harm and pulls EN high again when it is released.
