My point is that if you are using a program like Scribus you can design your documents with impunity. If you print it at the same size and it doesn't match the size shown you can adjust the zoom factor to compensate. I'm legally blind and I'm perfectly comfortable with adjusting my zoom levels to get a better idea of my layout anyway.

It's not as if everyone views the page from the same distance anyway.

Please note however that the conclusion of my message is that having an accurate DPI does matter, and should be implemented.
