I guess you are misunderstanding. The purpose is not to show the popup 
menu at the point when clicking with the mouse.

I thinks computer users today are used to menus that popup at the point 
for operations that has something to do with the text at point - even 
when they work with the keyboard. I have for example used this for 
completion in nXhtml:

I think there are other Emacs libraries that does similar things.
