At which point shouldn't you as a person that "gets it" aim for getting
the client to agree to test with some users and observe their behaviour? 

And when 7 out of 10 people go to use the font resizer right away, or
clearly have trouble reading the obsessively small fonts, say the client
- "well, it looks like our test results show that we need to increase
the font size"

It is possible that the results show the microtype might not be as micro
as originally thought. But you don't know until you've tested it. There
are different ways to deal with requests from clents, and this provides
another option other than trying to verbally convince them... 

Just my 2cents.

Cheers,
Derek.
