Default Floating Seeds

Yesterday, I read the planting directions on an okra seed pack (Hill Country Heirloom Red). It says, "Soaking seeds for 24 hours before planting greatly improves germination." So I put them in a cup of water.

Today, 16 seeds are floating on top of the water. That's about one third of the seeds. Are those seeds no good for planting?

The reason I ask is with tomato and pepper seeds - the ones floating get tossed aside because they won't grow.
