It's just that: a numerical value ;p. Probably not even close to a point, given how it's affected by potentially-user-configured DPI scaling.

It gets thrown through the usual blender of DPI scaling according to user-preference, which leads to a value in pixels, and, for reflowable content, that is run through a sieve to round it to the nearest integer value in a scale of supported values (a scale recently updated to basically offer full granularity in steps of 1px).
In the end, CRe honors a px value (you never get to actually see that value, but you could, with a simple well-placed print statement).
