Well from wikipedia it basically says that a symlink is just a text file
which contains the relative or absolute path  to another file/folder/app. If
that file/folder/app is moved then the link is broken. A Mac alias contains
various data, and along with some OS algorithms, if the file/folder/app is
moved the link is not necessarily broken - although we all know that it is
still possible to do so.
