A stopped clock is right twice a day. These recommendations come from a corrupted source and therefore have no value.

...but you just made the argument that corrupted sources can be, on occasion, correct.

There's no contradiction there. A stopped clock is sometimes right and has no information value.

If a particular clock was never right, that would actually give it positive information value, because it would at least tell you one time it isn't.

One of the big design flaws of the engima machine was that no plaintext letter ever encrypted to the same letter.
