There is no combination of defaults that satisfies users. Each user in our
test identified a different combination of data types that reflected their
usage. Our users like little snowflakes. :D

I get your point here. It does seem weird. The story should be sufficiently
flexible such that the UX can do whatever it needs to to craft the most
usable interface we can. I think having a story that says we want users to
be able to control their data types is enough specificity.

I wouldn't have a separate story for "users should understand what they're
doing." That's a designer's job for each and every story.
