Even a broken clock is right twice a day

Misuse of analogy. This analogy says that inaction eventually is the right thing to do. This is action.
Even a clock running backwards at triple speed is right eight times a day.
Interesting interpretation. I always thought the point was that something broken can be correct in some, albeit less useful, quantity.
Absolutely not.
