At which point shouldn't you as a person that "gets it" aim for getting

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"
While I totally agree, the difficult clients are usually the ones that
don't pay enough and don't care about what other people think - they
want it how they want it. If you've had clients like that, you know
it's best to cut your losses as soon as you can :P
If you take my quote in full and in context though I was justifying
the reason for including text resizing options on a web site, and
while I don't know if its the best thing to do it is definitely an
option when clients insist on small text (and I'm talking 10px and
smaller). You give them some little font resizing buttons and then
they are happy - meanwhile the rest of the world gets the default
font-size and they are happy :)
