Ah! This thread has evolved into a wonderful conversation of stopped clocks. I shall run with it.
In my living room, we have a coo coo clock. It sits silent on the wall, constantly stuck at three. I cannot stand for it to be working. I cannot think around the sound of the ticking, and when it coo coos I want to smash it. But it is a lovely clock and I do not mind looking at it. I never know what time it is anyway, so three o'clock is just fine with me.

I regret ever using the stopped clock metaphor. I should have know better do that in a bunch of Aspies (shame on me!). What I attempted to say (and said badly) was that even the stupidest people now and again, get something right.

But I am not stupid. I am more intelligent than 95 percent of the human race.
However, I make mistakes just like ordinary mortals. My mistakes are usually profound, and never trivial.

A point in time (and maybe the 3? Ds of space) topic
My take on this time watch is that labels are not absolute, or absolutely right (to get back to the topic at hand, before it tangentally took off). If I am labeled mentally deficient, I take into consideration who is do the labeling. and I always check the time. (A great analogy, the analog clock.
)
And even if 95% of the population is right (logical, rational, sensible) some of the time, this might not be noticed, as it may depend on how profound the right answer is, and on just who is providing the "right" answer.
