I think that's very flawed. The few people who do read all the options are
exactly the users we need to consider when setting defaults: New and
inexperienced users.

The powerusers can set their backlight setting as they wish, but we need
to help the new users. I think 15 is the absolute lowest sane level *for a
new user*, which is who the default is for, and who *will* feel lost in
Rockbox vast menus and stare at them for extended periods to figure out
where to go.
