That is incorrect I believe. FWIU Em is based off of the first parent element to declare a 'px' based declaration of same type. font-size width padding etc..
Otherwise it is set by the body and default browser px size. Same with percent. You are correct however, you can't just blindly convert rem to em. My apologies. I was thinking of percent to em and back. You can convert those with no problems. I never use rem, so probably shouldn't have shared.. :( sry..
