In typography it's a significant difference. It's not dramatic, but it
can produce different results in a book using the same body text and the
same line spacing, same margins, page dims. etc. Also TeX uses more
decimals. It all depends on more factors, of course: the font or the
microtype properties of pdfTeX and LuaTeX, especially horizontal
scaling, which can also have a significant influence, when activated, on
the appearance of text and pagination.

In any case, what I said was nothing more than a fun typographic fact,
since most people think that there is only one type of point.

Best regards,

Juan Manuel
