I don't know if this has any relevance, but there's actually three objects 
to be considered: The light, the object casting the shadow, and the object 
the shadow is cast upon.

In other words, if the statue casts a shadow on the floor, perhaps it's 
because the *floor* is illuminated by global lights, even if the statue isn't.
