It certainly starts out that way. With 'body {font-size: 76.1%;}' what
you are saying is this:
"I don't have any way to know what size your default is, or whether it
bears any relationship to what you like or need, so whatever that size
happens to be, 12px or 18px or 28px or anything else, I'm making it more
than 42% smaller than your browser preference."
In case you're wondering where the 42% comes from, it's because your
rule on its face is a height, but implicitly also applies to the width.
When you make both height and width 76.1% of the default, the result is
less than 58% of the original.
