AIM RS2 takes the best sector splits from all the laps in a session and adds them to arrive at that theoretical lap time.

I think this is misleading and in fact impossible to attain because of the following;

Lets take Chris's data as an example;
You have 14 splits/segments/sectors dividing the track and it looks like 22 or so laps to pull the best time for each sector from.

The time you do in any given sector is going to be completely depended on the run you get (entry speed) coming into it from the previous sector.
Therefore the if you didn't have the greatest line to carry lots of speed for the best sector 3 time but your line did allowed you to enter sector 4 significantly faster than if you had the optimum time through 3, your sector 4 time would be great and 3 not so good in a particular lap.
If you do this for all the sectors through the 22 laps you get a great but impossible composite theoretical lap time.

The 1:48 time could also be the result of data using a lap or sector at the beginning or end of a session where one lap or sector was timed very short for one reason or another etc..
