What is the Law of context & Law of defaults in User design interface?

Law of context:
The user expects to see interface controls close to the object he wants to control. Keep things handy for users — if something can be edited, changed or otherwise controlled, place those controls right next to it.
Law of defaults:
The user will rarely change default settings. We don’t notice defaults, but they rule our world. So make sure all default values are as useful and practical as possible — it’s safe to assume some people will never change them.
