We have the expression (well in English for those unaware of it) of a stopped clock being right twice a day for a reason. Guess that expression is probably going to the wayside these days though. Even the worst people make an agreeable point now and then afterall.

The oft-forgotten full phrase is: “a broken clock is right twice a day, but you still wouldn’t use it to tell time.”
Similarly, often in reference to corrupt cops or politicians: “one bad apple spoils the whole bunch.”
Aren’t most of those “full phrases” made up inventions from Tumblr?
In Germany we say, that even a blind chicken will find a grain sometimes.
I refuse to let that expression go to the wayside.
