It doesn't have to do squat. If a competent driver can safely drive 80 MPH on a road why the hell should he be limited to less? Your whole line of reasoning is flawed from beginning to end. The law is not in place to protect the incompetent from themselves nor should it try (and when it does, it usually fails miserably, pointing out the pointlessness of same)

So are you now saying there should be no limits or that limits should be set at the fastest speed the fast driver can go. Or do you favor the 85th percentile?
Incidentally, incompetient drivers should not be accommodated by lower speed limits. They should be removed from the road. But what you missing is the idea that a speed limit provides guidance for drivers who don't know a particular road. It is suggesting the speed that anyone can drive on this road safely under normal conditions, not the speed a top driver can drive. If it was intended for the top drivers, there would be no speed guidance for normal drivers at all, would there?.
