On macOS 10.12.6:

$ mongoexport --help

...

  -k, --slaveOk                                   allow secondary reads if

                                                  available (default true)

                                                  (default: false)

Can the value of --slaveOk default to both true and false at the same time?

The presence of multiple default values also appears to affect type:

$ mongoexport --help

...

      --type=<type>                               the output format, either

                                                  json or csv (defaults to

                                                  'json') (default: json)
