One thing to clarify— Changing that setting will only apply to *new* topics in that category. It basically lets you set a category specific default for the notification level of new topics. Once the topic has been created that setting has no effect which allows you to adjust your notification level on a per topic basis after the fact. If for instance you default to watching, but a noisy thread happens you don’t care about, you can just unwatch that particular thread.
