The point of points as a type unit is that whatever item uses them will display at the same size no matter what the resolution, DPI/PPI of the device is. 12 point type is supposed to be the same height in inches in print, on a cell phone, on an iPad, on a TV, laser etched in to granite.

I think we're talking about 2 different things. If what you say were true, then changing to different resolutions in System Prefs->Displays the would leave the text at the same size. Yeah, if you're talking about printed output, then 12pt should look the same no matter what the resolution of the hardware device is.
