Yes, this caught me to, in my mind it seemed like "target-specific" values
should have higher precedence than "project-wide" ones, so I didn't even
bother looking up what "crossed-out labels" meant...

Does anyone know why they chose such an idiotic user interface, allowing you
to edit the value of something thats going to be ignored?  It would make
more sense, to my mind, to have the VALUE crossed out, not the LABEL.
