In addition to time intolerance, you must have a taste for very pale toast!
Not at all. We have essentially unlimited gradation. There is even a "lift and peak" option that allows you to check on doneness and either continue or stop. But to your question, I think I want a medium toast. Crisp on the outside, still tender on the inside. Hot enough to melt butter. Certainly not hardtack.
