Quick question: why is the .line>span position set to absolute?

@wrongakram First of all, thanks for consistently putting out great front-end content. As a full-stack dev who wants to focus more on front-end, I've found your channel invaluable 💯

Now to my question. In part two while constructing the banner headline I noticed that you set .line > span to position absolute and I couldn't figure out why. Since you don't specify top, bottom left, or right I would expect the positioning to be unchanged and when I toggle this style I don't see any noticeable difference. Would you mind explaining the purpose of this style?
