I agree, and I'm the guy who made the confusing statement.  So let's 
rephrase and get it over with...

(In theory...) An object that is floated has the same vertical position 
it would have were it not floated.  Float merely shifts it to one side 
or the other.

Ah.  Much better.  I feel wefweshed.  :)
