    White Dragon True Base Speed

    If this has been discussed already, I'm sorry, but I haven't found any related topic.

    The introduction to Dragon creation doesn't mention any change to a Dragon's base speed (or to any other kind of speed except flight), thus it should stay unchanged through the various increments of size.
    And in fact, watching the stats of all the sample Dragons, it's confirmed.
    With one exception (which I suppose to be an error, since I can't see any special rule for it): the White Dragon has a base speed of 60 ft. at its original size (tiny), but all the three sample White Dragons (Young, Adult and Ancient) have a base speed of 30 ft. in their stat block.

    So, which one should be the true base speed? The one on the basic stat block (60 ft.) or the one in the samples (30 ft., which, looking to all the other Dragons, who have a minimum speed of 40 ft., seems to be an error made and repeated)?

    I'm glad I'm not the only one that was wondering about this. I read and re-read the dragon page, thinking I must be missing it. So, what is the answer?
