My main.cf file has the comments (my own that explains why settings
are there, not the default comments).  It is the easier to read file.
Even then, I was also reading the postconf -n output and just didn't
see the subtle difference (I was thinking more along the lines of
"what else is needed").  What might be needed to avoid things like
this is something to compare them.  Or maybe postfix giving an error
when a conflicting setting is encountered (or is there some basis for
always allowing settings that change previous settings).
