This may be a terminology mix up. But there is no real increase in float.
You twist your foot the same amount as most pedals to disengage. But the retention spring on most pedals pushes against the cleat, in a way that forces your foot to point forward (well actually this depends on cleat set-up). The more you twist your foot the more force you feel, untill you disengage. The Bebop/Speedplay system, has no such spring in the pedal. The cleat grips around the pedal, with no centering force.
Its a very strange sensation at first, but you will come to love it (said the bishop to the actress)
