Yes.  That video does _not_ show the connection-sharing computer becoming
an Access Point.  It shows it becoming a node on an ad hoc network.  This
means that, unlike an Access Point, it will not forward packets between
other computers on the network, thus creating the mutual routability
problems that we have been describing.
