 Also, it only should be used if you have only 1 default route to advertise. If
 you have more than one you shold never user always so the defaults would be dy
namic.

Using the key word ALWAYS is to force a default route regardless of
status of default route.
It is use when you could have a unable default route but you don't want
it to cause changes
in OSPF database (route flapping).

I do not understand what you are saying Cisco said, but my understanding
of
this is that the default route will remain in the table regardless of
whether the next hop appear in the table or not.

So if you had something like

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1

and the 192.168.1.1 route was not in the table the default route would
disappear (ie. floating static ).

by adding the keyword always the default route would remain in the table
whether a route to 192.168.1.1 was there or not. I would imagine if the
default info originate has the same keyword it works the same way.
