I feel like a "hub" qualifies as "a device that doesn't do address 
learning and floods unicast frames".

To me, the fundamental difference between a hub and a switch / bridge is 
address learning.

I can't tell if your (quoted) statement is specific to /just/ bridges / 
switches or could include hubs.  Your first comment addresses bridges 
directly, thus meaning that your second non-targeted comment might 
target more.
