because you defined:

 attr_accessor :t

but are you saying that in the method:

 def set_default
   t = @@default_t
 end

that "t" should call the method "t=" which the attr_accessor created?
if so, I have experienced that before as well and use:

 def set_default
   self.t = @@default_t
 end

to remove the ambiguity of Ruby trying to figure out whether I am trying to define a local var or invoke a method.
