With the proper sled it is entirely possible to flatten a board with a thickness planer.

Exactly. The combination of the board and sled has one side that's the sled and one side that's the board. The planer then does what it's designed to do, which in this case makes the board side parallel to the sled side. If the side of the sled is flat, then this will obviously make the side of the board flat.
