Well sp has nothing to do with points. Whether you called them "Scale- independent" or "Scaled"... I don't know. All they mean is that they are the same as dp (the density-independent pixels), but also accounting for the user's overall preferred font size. So at the default font size, 1 sp == 1 dp, but the user can set the font size to be larger or smaller which will make 1 sp a corresponding scale factor of 1 dp.
