Electrical – Confusion regarding Biased Clipper Circuit

voltage-clipping

Clipper Circuit

When the voltage is lower then the biased voltage its appear in Output Voltage, But just when the voltage get larger than Bias Voltage (Vb) the Diode start Conducting and its acts as SHORT and the voltage gets clipped.

But the thing that confuses me is that i learnt that Short makes potential Difference zero so when the diode was conductiong its act as short instead of clipped voltage which is appearing at output it must be zero voltage, right ?
