> What exactly is a "trick" then?
I'd call a trick something that is not part of the documentation core, something that has unexpected effect or behavior that was unintended initially.
None of those would apply here.

If on the other hand you use a conventional definition of trick, "a clever or particular way of doing something", then the post is indeed about a set of tricks.
Either way, I didn't say such "tricks" are without peril - surely a number of jQuery "tricks," even those that were eventually canonized, have been broken over the years as the library updates.
