Sam forgot one thing, it would also change the location, and nature of damage.
In a normal vessel the slower the speed the more rudder it takes to quickly make a turn, the faster the vessel the opposite is of course true. In Titanic's case what Ken is saying is opinion not fact, we have no way of knowing how far away (in reality) Titanic was from the iceberg when it was spotted and how quickly Murdoch responded to the situation. Therefore we have no way of knowing with any certainty what would have worked and what wouldn't have in Titanic's case because we lack the necessary information to plug into a formula. The key information.
