Unfortunately, that only seems to print those defaults that are set, not all defaults that are possible.

For example, the NSToolbarTitleViewRolloverDelay setting, while valid per the article, isn't listed in the output of `defaults read`

Per sibling comments, you run strings on binaries, find out informally from Apple engineers, or dig through settings in the System Preferences and then use `defaults` to look for changes in output.
