A philosophical question if I may.

A little while ago I read about the necessity of adjusting an AoA
indication for the extension of flaps. I don't think that is correct.
Extension of flaps decreases the AoA of the remaining fixed wing area
because the flaps take over a large portion of the heavy lifting. Why
compensate the indication for this real and desired result? Am I missing
something?
