Chesty,
"Spoilers do float as a result of the process for making lift."
They don't. However, in the OP, it was stated that one spoiler was unpowered.
Ok you got me, considering spoilers are designed to "spoil" lift over the wing and on the A380 they are operated by 5000psi hydraulics to keep them up/down. How do they "float" against that pressure in a fully serviceable spoiler system???

There was a time when challenging someone went something like 'Oh, right I didn't know that, how does that happen?'
In the mists of time I think.
