My understanding from the pros in other groups, is that message simply

...and if the pitot tubes were providing low airspeed data (which the
OP mentioned in his post, saying "the Captains, First Officers, and
standby airspeed indicators rolled back to 60kts...") prior to the
rudder travel limiter disengage, those travel limits would be far less
stringent than if the ADC "knew" the aircraft was travelling at cruise
speed.

Is the pitot-static systems linked as in GA aircraft? If so, then a
clogged pitot would read low airspeed or am I in the dark here?
