title: During a chef run how does node differ from node.default?
body: <p>I've noticed that attributes in environments do not get applied if I use <code>node.default</code> in cookbooks (instead the cookbook attributes get applied). But, the attributes changed in environments get applied if I use <code>node</code> instead; why? I thought <code>node</code> and <code>node.default</code> are one and the same?</p>
