The nice thing is that a fully broken clock is accurate more often than a slightly deviated clock.

A clock that's 5 seconds, 5 minutes, or 5 hours ahead, or counts an hour as 61 minutes, is still more useful than a clock that does not move it's hands at all.

Only if the deviated clock is
fast
. If a clock is, instead,
slow
, it is correct
more often
than a stopped clock.
