I've never seen a recipe that was "correct". I don't even know what that would mean. As far as i'm concerned, a recipe is a suggestion. If I don't know how to make a dish, I read several recipes, and then brew my own. I don't think most online recipes are "correct", especially chili recipes that call for Heinz baked beanz. Wut?

You are clearly skilled at cooking. For people like myself, who are not so blessed, rigorously following recipes is the only realistic path to producing decent dishes. So, for me, a recipe can indeed be correct or not. My definition of "correct" is narrow, though -- if it produces a dish I enjoy, it's correct. Otherwise, it's not.
