"clever trick" is something we explicitly avoid asking these days.

If we can all agree it's an interesting topic of discussion, we can set aside debating the semantics of whether it is a "trick" and let the author express themselves using the words of their choosing. Policing the definition of trick is surely not curious conversation.
