You pretty clearly think determinism and correctness are related, otherwise why wouldn't a stopped clock be deterministic?

Determinism is about the behavior of a system. Correctness is also about the purpose of a system. A system can have deterministic behavior while being completely unfit for its purpose. And depending on its purpose, it can be fit for purpose while being nondeterministic.
