The working directory is important if the target is not an absolute

commands he's showing above will make a symbolic link at the location
${PWD}/alpha/beta/gamma/delta/epsilon/link.

The working directory is also important if the item being linked to is not an absolute path.

No, you're wrong. If the item being linked to is defined with a relative (not an absolute) path then ln takes it as relative to the location of the symbolic link that is created.
