Very incorrect statements.

pt, like in, is a physical distance measurement. It is absolutely possible to know what DPI a screen in, and for the reader to calculate the correct number of pixels to represent the correct distance. Not only is it possible, but the adobe Epub reader does it just fine.

Since pt is a actual distance which is not related to font size, it has no similarity to any value in em.
