I like the joke, but seriously: preferences are pretty personal so it is only my opinion: when I read a book I like if nothing is expressed in px, especially the base font. I prefer that the base font is not settled at all (just like @JSWolf) and only relatives sizes are settled. I think that the ereaders will consent to You to change font size anyway (I did not try), but it is better to avoid to settle it

In my opinion the better choice for a publisher is to let free the reader to have the maximum possible control over font sizes and over font family, line height, margins (zero for me in css, then I use my Kobo to settle what I want).

Many publishers, or even worst self published authors, like to take decisions that should be taken by reader, but a ebook is not a pbook!
