Er, no, that isn't the correct replacement. They're using "default" as
a verb and mean "by default".

The sentence makes no sense with "de-faulty" there instead.

Ultimately though the entire comment barely makes sense, so the best
way to fix this spelling mistake is to re-write the entire comment so
it does. I would have suggested a new wording for it, but I don't know
enough about what's going on here to parse the rest of it.

So therefore someone who knows what's going on here needs to fix this
and your change is just making this comment worse.

Thanks,
