.625 * 16 is 10. 12 is 120% of 10. I wouldn't call 20% particularly "slight"
in a context where people notice as little as 1px differences.

My minimum font sizes vary between 15px & 18px depending on resolution and
default setting (between 20px & 24px). Few 62.5% body pages fail to at least
partially disintegrate for me unless I make them useless by disabling minimum
font size. :-( Good thing modern browsers allow to disable styles entirely.
