Well, arguably it makes a bit more sense than Knuth's choice of a
magstep being a factor of 1.2. Because the powers of 2^{1:12} as the
basis of half a magstep are known to be close enough for practical
purposes to a variety of small-integer-based ratios.
3:2? Try font-size 3.5. 4:3? Try font-size 2.5. 5:4? How about
font-size 2?
Eat your heart out, Don: there's music in _our_ choice.
