Examples
Scale: Time to <correctly> carry out a defined [Task, Default = Average Task].
followed by:
Goal: 66 seconds.
would mean the same as if you wrote:
Goal [Task = Average Task] 66 seconds.
But, you can override the Default option with a statement like this:
Goal [Task = Difficult Task] 100 seconds.
Notes
The rationale for a Default is to save specification effort, and to simplify specification, where possible.
