- asplake 5y agoI believe so too. Love the definition here though!
- SahAssar 5y ago> Fractally wrong people are often immune to the stopped clock rule because they are not exactly stopped clocks. More like clocks losing a random number of seconds a day, in the wrong time zone of the wrong planet, in the wrong solar system. That's a wonderful definition.
- robert_tweed 5y agoI think it's a bad analogy. A clock losing a random number of seconds per day is actually correct more often than a stopped one.
