I generally agree with his argument, but I don't appreciate the way some of the examples were framed. They were a bit misleading.

Specifically the paragraph where he inserts smaller fonts into the middle of his paragraph, hoping to shock you with the difference in size.

Here is a screenshot of that paragraph with the body text actually set to 16px: http://i.imgur.com/mcdNI.png

10px is still tiny, but 14px doesn't appear nearly so 'weaksauce' any more.

As I said, I DO like larger font sizes and think he has a good point. But misleading comparisons like this bug me and I felt I had to set it straight.
