I would disagree about attacking any meaning - I think this is a deliberate ploy. One of the ways of viewing the plan is as a joke about the nature of reality. It therefore makes sense to give the reader two choices in viewing the events - the "joke" of the plan or the harsh reality. To allow other interpretations would break down the barriers between the two.
this is part what i was trying to say. it's late and i haven't had enough caffeine.
