That is the theory. I have yet to see a user which does not immediately enable 
them ;)
And I even understand that behavior since a few of that expert options are 
useful for novice users but depending on the circumstances not always the same 
options for every user. The on/off setting for the expert settings can not 
address this problem.

Personally I would even remove that expert switch since currently the behavior 
is potentially confusing. Imagine a user who checks the expert switch, plays 
around with the options, gets confused and disables it. He will not even see 
the things he changed from the default anymore although XCSoar honors the 
changes he made.
