What you're describing is what I meant. If you're driving at a speed that feels uncomfortable, it's likely because it feels unsafe. I'm glad you're a human cruise control, because I'm not, I often do vibes based speed control and I'd be very vulnerable to speed traps. I know I'm a bad driver, and I'd much rather take the bus, train, or bike lane if it was realistic to do so; I honestly hate driving.
I think the distinction they're trying to make is that whether or not a given speed feels unsafe on a road doesn't necessarily correlate with whether it actually is unsafe.
Oh, absolutely. But that doesn't stop civil engineers from making residential roads that are wide enough to function as interstates, post a 25 mph speed limit, and be SHOCKED when people do 50. It's not safe to do 50 mph on that road in any sense, but it feels like it is, so that's what people do.
