default on
Hi,
What does "They default on the opinion of experts" mean?

"A passive thinker thinks defensively, how can I fit in what will make people accept me? What will help me pass this test? They avoid mental strain and outsource the difficult thinking to others. They default on the opinion of experts Instead of forming their own."

Thanks!

Answer

I think it should be "default to."  It means they automatically adopt the experts' opinion instead of coming up with their own ideas.

"Default on" means failure to make a payment.  Like default on a loan.
