This is a very *nix-centric argument.  It assumes a well entrenched
notion of one's home directory and a habit of working beneath it.
The subtle suggestion is that if one finds a point sufficiently high
in the name space it will dominate all subsequent branches.  Already
earlier in this thread someone pointed out that that logic fails if
one branches into /tmp.

Paul Moore has indicated that he is working on a Windows box.  There
users tend to have much less tendency to operate beneath a "home"
directory.  More importantly with drive letters and UNCs the name
space lacks an obvious root.
