What he means is that the figure is formally embedded in a paragraph
inside the float, which is formatted "justified" (out of alternatives
left, right, justified and centred). This means the picture will align
with the left edge, being just one huge "character" in the paragraph.
I would also like to see the default be centered. In LaTeX this inserts
a \begin{center} ... \end{center} pair. Alternatively, a user settable
preference.
