If LogLevel is not specified, does it default to 0 or to 256 (stats)?

The documentation says default is stats in:

man/man5/slapd.conf.5:691:The loglevel defaults to \fBstats\fP.

guide/admin/tuning.sdf:121:The default of {{loglevel stats}} (256) is really the
best bet. There's a corollary to 

guide/admin/tuning.sdf-141-The default syslog level is stats (256) which logs
the basic parameters of each

And the default for loglevel 0 is defined at:

man/man5/slapd-config.5:630:In fact, if no olcLogLevel (or a 0 level) is
defined, no logging occurs, 
man/man5/slapd-config.5-631-so at least the 
man/man5/slapd-config.5-632-.B none
man/man5/slapd-config.5-633-level is required to have high priority messages
logged.

Here mixed feelings:

guide/admin/slapdconfig.sdf-193-\Default:
guide/admin/slapdconfig.sdf-194-
guide/admin/slapdconfig.sdf:195:E: loglevel stats
guide/admin/slapdconfig.sdf-196-
guide/admin/slapdconfig.sdf:197:Basic stats logging is configured by default.
However, if no loglevel is
guide/admin/slapdconfig.sdf-198-defined, no logging occurs (equivalent to a 0
level).
guide/admin/slapdconfig.sdf-199-

guide/admin/slapdconf2.sdf-237-
guide/admin/slapdconf2.sdf-238-\Default:
guide/admin/slapdconf2.sdf-239-
guide/admin/slapdconf2.sdf:240:E: olcLogLevel stats
guide/admin/slapdconf2.sdf-241-
guide/admin/slapdconf2.sdf:242:Basic stats logging is configured by default.
However, if no olcLogLevel is
guide/admin/slapdconf2.sdf-243-defined, no logging occurs (equivalent to a 0
level).
guide/admin/slapdconf2.sdf-244-

I suggest describing all default values at a single place.
