The FDM may choose to carry along with that abstraction (which makes sense) because you are concerned with getting the right performance when the lever is in the 30 degree position. It all works out in the end, but saying the flaps are at 30 degrees is an extreme over simplification.
Yes, this is true. You're right, too, that we don't care about the _visual_ position of the flaps, but what the flaps have been commanded to and what aerodynamic properties result from that setting. But at least we have that. Saying we are at 30 degrees flaps in a range from 0 to 60 may not be concrete, but it beats simply saying that the flap setting is 0.5.
