S'okay. This is a nit-picky topic. :)

If the unfloated object has a specified width, it will move down just
as the floated object you describe. (um... i think...) Your statement
is correct only because floats must have width specified, whereas
non-floats don't, necessarily.
Nonetheless, a useful clarification.
