No, it's factual. For any given wing (flap setting) configuration, there will be one speed only that gives best rate of climb. In the case of the Twin Otter wing, in combination with a 620 HP limit and flaps 10 extended, best rate of climb will be achieved at 80 KIAS, assuming MTOW. At higher speeds, rate of climb degrades.
