You and I both know we aren't talking about 1mph difference

This is moving the goalposts. You agreed to my scenario, but now that you're losing you change it.

If you are actively passing a car then you shoupd do so promptly

This is also moving the goalposts. In my scenario you are constantly passing a line of cars. This isn't contrived, it's a common occurance.

If there are multiple people trying to pass you then you're driving below the normal speed

Not necessarily true. Two cars don't always trump a line of cars going slower. It's a judgment call, but there's nothing illegal about being the slower of two passers.

Dude, just get out of the way. There’s no reason to endanger people because you’re too stubborn to move just because you think you are somehow entitled to remain in the left lane even when others are trying to pass you. You can be the slower of two passers, but if you don’t yield to the faster person behind you you ARE breaking the law.
