Maybe I didn't word it right ?

I was referring to the "float" that occurs when flaring with too much speed on. The aircraft doesn't settle at the point you want or expect it to, hence a relatively new PPL will see the runway being eaten up without feeling the wheels touch where they expected or wanted them to, hence the "force it before it is ready" comment.

Of course if threshold speed / ROD / attitude are correct then you will land where you want to, but when you are new (and not so new in some cases) to it then maybe not all 3 are just how you would want them.
