Relative v absolute units (was Bobby inaccuracy?)

This line is the one that interests me (from Julian Scarlett's post on Tue,

Line 39: <div style="height: 280; width: 400; border: none; float: right">

I'm still confused by this one - in this case absolute units are used to
size the layer, and it passes Bobby AAA. Checkpoint 3.4 (priority 2) says to
use relative units (ems or %), not absolute units. It then says "If absolute
units are used, validate that the rendered content is usable".

Can anyone elucidate what "rendered content is usable" means?

Thanks
Rowan

I've just run a AAA Bobby test on a page and although it passed it included
the usual user checks on colour and images conveying information ...
