IF telling the motherboard to boot another drive is tricking it, then 
turning on my blinkers in my car is tricking my car to do tmhat, too.  
When I think of tricks, I think of 'doing something that it wasn't really meant 
to, but I've managed to do somehow, at the cost of stability and life'. 
Overclocking is tricking, in my book.  Telling it to boot another drive is 
just letting it do it's job.  I think now that motherboards are smarter, 
and let you do so much more, it's a misnomer to call it a trick, and, to 
boot (no pun intended), it confuses people.
