"Scotch Gambit Trap"

Here's one of those chess.com drills:

It's called the Scotch Gambit Trap because it's supposed to be a trap, but OF COURSE when you actually start playing the game in the drill the computer replies with Nh6.

The trap has still been successful because Black is losing a piece!  Nh6 is the best response but still loses the knight.  After 8. Bxh6, Black cannot recapture because of the Qxf7# threat.  Black must play 8... O-O and White gets away with the piece.

Would that be considered a trap though? I thought that trap meant something along the lines of being tricked with a surprise attack. With Nh6, that's more like anticipating the trap, avoiding it, and taking the lesser of two evils.

Perhaps.  But the player with the Black pieces must have fallen for the trap before the position, right?
