This discussion is talking about calibre's font scaling. This discussion does not include any "hard-coded" font-sizes.
Using:
Base font size 12pt
Font size key 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 18, 24, 36
Would be the same as using:
Base font size Medium
Font KeySize xx-small, x-small, small, medium, large, x-large, xx-large

You have the same end result of virtually every ePub coming out of a conversion using calibre (whether you use font scaling or not).
I suppose a book could be hard coded with un-scalable font sizes but I haven't run across one in over 8500 conversions. There are no side effects of using the above listed Base font key and Font size key except to have fonts the way you want them to be. They are still scalable on every device.

I don't know if you can list the actual words vice the numbers but there is zero need for this ability. Read up in
the manual on this feature.
