The goal is not to level out the entire floor, removing the drainage slope but to get rid of any dimples in the sloped surface. If you we're to hose down the floor, the water should run to the drains, but some may stay behind in these dimples. If to deep, these will definitely be felt when you set your floor down sounds like Titan has done a quick check and has a good surface to work on.
