Wrong. Read the Silca link provide above and and study the charts in that link.

So this chart says I should be riding my 700x23's at between 110-115psi (I weigh 178 lbs) for a 'normal' road?

Boring response to echo all above, but another person that is NZ based and so rides chipseal most of the time. For racing over the last 10 years I've used Vittoria Corsas clinchers with latex tubes.I went to this exact setup (28c) this year, and couldn't be happier. Lot's of chip seal around here. The Corsa/latex combo takes most of the buzz out of "set-in" chip-seal roads, handles newly sealed sections confidently and, knock on wood, has been quite reliable thus far.

Yes, 111-112 psi for a fairly smooth normal road.
