It's surely right that the nitwit mode should be the default. If it
wasn't, the nitwits would never find it, so there would be no point in
having it.

On my P&S (C**n) it works like this:
AUTO ISO gives you ISO 50 unless you use flash and the subject would be
out of range for proper illumination. In this case it will increase ISO
to the necessary value to get a properly exposed shot.
The one exception is when you set the camera mode to "Fast Shutter" -
here AUTO ISO will alter the ISO speed in order to give you a
hand-holdable shot shutter speed.

So instead of just altering shutter speed
or aperture, the camera may change the ISO value instead. My opinion
is that this kind of feature is something that you would see on a P&S
rather than on a more sophisticated camera. One who is in control of
metering and exposure probably wouldn't welcome the behavior. On top
of that, Pentax made it the default setting.
