   I think the example given is somewhat contrived -- if someone is moving   
   between departments, it's not unlikely he'll move desks too, and   
   distinct physical networks would do fairly well.  But the point is   
   presumably that they could move him over without messing with wires or   
   moving his desk just by configuring the switch.
