If you rip the hands off a clock, it is broken, and it will never be right.

Hmmm, this presents an interesting philosophical line of questioning: is the "clock" the user interface, or the underlying mechanism? I can easily replace the hands of they're ripped off, so long as the mechanism keeps time then I'd say the clock isn't broken in any meaningful way.
