The man page.  From param/loadparm.c

True,   /* bRead_only */

You can run the following command to find the defaults.

testparm -s /dev/null 

writable is actually a misspelled synonym for writeable which in turn
is an inverted synonym for read only (the man page says that read only
is the synonym and writeable is the actual parameter but this is wrong).
The default for read only is yes which makes the default for 
writable no.

 testparm -s /dev/null | grep read only
read only = Yes
