Proof by analogy is fraud. You should know better.

If you really want to go down this path -- a broken clock is correct twice, as two discrete points in a continuous time space. The act of looking at the clock is analogous to sampling one discrete point in the time space. The possibility of sampling those two points at any given time is zero.

So no, a broken clock is not correct twice a day. Also, please stop proving anything with analogy.
