You won't get any argument from me on this. But you have to
understand that you are now in church and it is the high ground
that gets set here, it has to be set somewhere as a beacon of
light in a sea of ignorance.
By the way, to the OP, (he sounds Italian), some browsers have a
minimum font size that the user can set. iCab and Safari do, no
doubt most other modern browsers. This means the browser brings
up any size smaller than this to the set minimum.... I think.
I don't set this myself because I figure it this way: if someone
wants me to see something really small, I will let them. If it is
too small to read, the intention might have been aesthetic where
the look is the important thing. If not, it is simple enough to
enlarge and read it and, at the same time, be irritated by the
over large text for the rest - two birds with one stone
really....
