I would like to point out that text in a web page is usually not there merely for a design purpose but for communicating some information. That said, it surely is more aggravating for a reader to first have to make a text readable before being able to access some information. This means, a bigger initial text size makes reading or scanning a page for information easier and is more polite towards the reader. Someone who prefers small text size will be able to read bigger text whereas someone who prefers bigger text will not be able to read small text.
