If headers aren't inside of something else with a defined size, then any relative size-- including percentages-- will be relative to the user default.

It shouldn't be necessary to set a size for paragraphs at all. If there's one thing that really should be in the user's default size, it's your vanilla paragraph! That's why browsers let you set a default size in the first place.

Somewhere in the CSS documentation there's an explanation of what "inherit" means. Find it and read it. Slowly! :)

Quick edit: Yes, everything will zoom the same, no matter what words you used to set the size.
