1 - It ignores the user's stated preferences (and it is the user who is
trying to read it, not the author)

2 - When displaying text with a font size specified in points, Internet
Explorer ignores the View > Font Size menu (so if its too small to read,
the user is fairly fubared)

3 - The majority of systems are not calibrated to correctly represent points
on screen, so most people won't get 14pt even if that is what you specify.
