There needs to be a distinction of where the collision takes place. Does the vehicle come off the road and onto the pavement? Is it somebody stepping off into the road, right into the path of a vehicle? Is it somebody crossing the road and misjudging the speed of the approaching vehicle? Vehicle jumping red lights at a pedestrian crossing? It is important to identify which scenario in order to establish where a reduction in speed limit would have any effect.

Who gives a toss? If they hit a child at 30mph, there is a five times greater chance of a fatality than if they hit it at 20mph.
All your casuistry, quibbling, and Gish-galloping doesn’t change those basic facts.
