Doax is right about the "low speed vehicle" thing. There's a difference between a "low speed vehicle" and a vehicle traveling at low speed. Based on what I found, "low speed vehicle" is a term used to describe a class of vehicles such as farm tractors, gold carts, etc. which are incapable of high speeds.
At this point, I'm not sure I did break the other law. It reads,
With regard to the first incident (the "stopping"), if there's no one behind me how can that not be considered "reasonably safe"? That incident is the one he said the ticket was for (not the going 28 in a 60).
I did find another section of the law which may be applicable:
I don't know as this is relavant at all, since I wasn't cited for it but let's go with it anyway. I could see where it's arguable if I was cited for this. In my book I'm not "impeding or blocking" the normal and reasonable movement of traffic if the left lane is clear and people can pass me easily.

I don't beleive this would apply to you , being that as you described people were passing you and were not blocked from doing so , so therefore you weren't disrupting the flow of traffic , so therefore I'd say fight the good fight and just calmly explain your case and mention your experiment who knows maybe the judge will be impressed with what he'll learn lol
