 > Can't the same be said for "em"?

 No.
 > An em is a unit of measurement in the field of typography, equal to the
 pt size of the current font. This unit is not defined in terms of any
 specific typeface, and thus is the same for all fonts at a given point
 size.[1] So, 1 em in a 16 pt typeface is 16 points.
