I think he means that you should have full pedal pressure at about half pedal travel, then open the bleed nipple and the pedal should travel to the floor, hold the pedal there and close the bleed nipple.

If the pedal is going to the floor straight up, its leaking somewhere, and perhaps in the master cylinder and its seal.
