I still have a one question:

It was said this prevents flashing from within the Gerber file, but I
don't know what that means.
There are varying opinions here, but one reason is that
Why does not the DRC tell the planes are shorting?

Andy,
As far as why AC said the holes shorted, I'll take a guess: If you made the pads
single-layer (e.g., Top Layer) instead of
MultiLayer, that's why. If you look at the PCB in single-layer mode (Shift-S), for a
single layer pad there won't be 'negative
copper' on the inner planes to keep
Very simple:
Use a pad.
Choose a hole diameter and place it in the Hole Size, X-size, Y-size.
For layer, choose MultiLayer. (Helps prevent a potential bug.)
Additional:
If you are using a screw to mount, it is better to enlarge the X-size
Y-size to the diameter of the screw head.
