Well, it's clear that they don't know what they're talking about. In the example given, they mixed pixels with points and expect it to look the same no matter the output device.
Pixels are a small but indeterminate size. There is no reason to assume that they are 90 or 96 or any other number per inch. Mixing pixels with real-world measurements is just asking for trouble.
Of source, this is the organization that renamed typefaces to font-families, so I guess stupidity is to be expected.
