That's just how gearing works.
In this example (presumably assuming a typical 700c road setup), 60->61rpm is somewhere around .36 mph, not .6mph. Also, gearing math requires consideration to proportionality: changing by 1rpm at 60rpm is arguably more like changing by 1.53rpm at 92rpm than 1rpm at 92rpm.
But either way, that doesn't answer my question regarding livedarklions' cadence range.
