I agree that it would be silly to limit voltage without the option of using 100% power, but that is not what we are talking about here.
It is what the quiz was talking about, in order to drive home the point that limiting top speed by limiting voltage is not equivalent to limiting top speed via gearing.

I know you realize this, but many rookie teams reading this thread may not.
