You can run the following command to find the defaults.
testparm -s /dev/null
writable is actually a misspelled synonym for writeable which in turn
is an inverted synonym for read only (the man page says that "read only"
is the synonym and writeable is the actual parameter but this is wrong).
The default for "read only" is yes which makes the default for
writable no.
> testparm -s /dev/null | grep "read only"
read only = Yes
