The notion of the flyer as well as that of the foreign installation, whether either are actual or not, does not mean they are useless. Both urge folk to examine their thoughts and their source, in effect also, leading to examination of beliefs. In my opinion, these notions qualify as another clever device of don Juan's, similar to urging one to find his hands in dreaming. That trick causes folk to become more aware of their dreaming and can lead eventually to lucid dreaming.
In many ways, within the teachings of don Juan, imo, there are similar tricks, and even the word "trick", if you search the entire collection, appears many times. In effect, what he is doing is actualizing the phrase about being able to lead a horse to water but not being able to make him drink.
and, btw...feel free to challenge all of my beliefs.
