That Ruses and Beats use a Feint maneuver does not actually make them feints.

Yes. They are.
Martial Arts. p. 73 (the actual description of the Feint Technique):
"Feint includes knowledge of Beats (pp. 100-101) and
Ruses (p. 101). Make a STbased roll to attempt a Beat or
to use ST to resist one, an IQbased roll to try a Ruse, or a
Per-based roll to use Per to resist a Ruse".
