Default Jack Plane Flattness. How flat should it be?

Wow, 6 planes flattened to 5 tenths, for only 50 bucks. I don't have
that option. And I may not need it either. I was talking to my
brother-in-law a little while ago, and he is a big hand plane guy, and
he advised me that smoothing planes don't really need to be as flat as
a jointing plane. This is just the opposite what you say the folks at
oldtools.org tell you. Now I wonder who I should listen to. I'll have
to visit oldtools.org to see what they are all about. Thanks for the
reference.
