Actually it is.

You're much safer going 59 than 80, even if everyone else wants to go 80. You're in front of them; they see you and take appropriate action.

There is not much that can go wrong while driving in a straight line at constant speed. The actions they take to get around you (braking, lane changes) create a great deal more opportunities for collision.

Speed doesn't kill, speed differentials do. You should not go drastically slower than the speed of traffic for the same reason you shouldn't go drastically faster than it.

Speed differentials, and loss of control at cruising speed. A 5 mph tap and a 5 mph relative tap at 60 mph on a highway with a slight (for the speed) bend are two entirely different things.
