I understand what your point is. The float increases when the shares become available to sell. It does make a difference though because whoever is selling the new shares will hopefully run out of shares to sell. Newly issued shares make the outstanding shares increase and keeps adding shares to the float. Not being argumentative. Just getting the term dilution straightened out.
