Not all that wrong.
All things being equal, those travel times are correct ; all things however are NOT equal.
The texts assume that travel will generally occur in optimal conditions.
In fact, chaos monsters, wars, brigands, extreme weather, political factors, and et cetera usually prevent such ideal travel times to be effectively realized.
This is simply a question of GM Fiat.
That is all.
