You can only sent a float to the right inlet of a [select] initialized
in float-mode ([select]s, that don't have a symbol as argument, are in
float-mode). Sending a bang into the second inlet instead is an error.
I admit that it's a bit strange, that a naked "bang" message gives a
different error message (no method for "bang") than a bang sent
through [t a] (no method for "list"), but otherwise the error message
here is quite clear, isn't it? Empty lists are equivalent to bang.
