The reason for 1% or 1px or -1px etc... is I am testing boundary cases for all scenarios.

Boundary cases are...

Minimum minus one
Minimum
Minimum plus one
Nominal value (I usually use a comparable value to 1in)
Maximum minus one
Maximum
Maximum plus one

I have also included signed values containing the plus sign (+) to test for string length issues. I usually add a plus (+) to zero (0), nomimal and maximum.

Also note that CSS does not define a maximum value for font size thus the size that I am using now is totally valid per the spec. In fact it was valid before and produced a more obvious result than what I am using now.
