Ah the Dreamliner strikes again!

Ole' Sparky!

What is that old saying bout buying the "A" model?

Only reason this is even news is because its a 787. Move along, nothing to see here.

With flaps already retracted and in cruise I think I would just continue to destination and complete the flight.

There must be more to the story.

The 787 has cruise flaps

Yes. I'll make it easier for you: unlike our other airplanes, the flaps are more dynamic on the 787 and it is possible that the poster I responded to was unaware that the 787 has cruise flaps.
