Yes, while the bowl has fuel in it, rubbing the bottom should not occur.
This only happens on dry bowls, engines that sit a long time between uses.
Having the float drop far enough to cock the needle in the seat is more
likely than a hole.

OK, I'm new at this, but doesn't a car installed with an electric  
pump always have gas in the carb when the ignition is turned on?   If  
that is the case, there can be no contact of the float to the bottom  
of the carb at anytime that there is vibration of the car that would  
cause the float to rub against the bottom of the bowl.  During  
operation (driving) the bowl always has some gas in the bowl, right?
