A broken clock can be wrong all the time too. How many of them display for example the minute hand on the 6 and the hour hand right on a number...

Generally when people read clocks they just round the hour hand down. Also, some clocks (especially older ones) don’t gradually move the hour hand, making your point work for only some clocks.

I think the essence of the saying is that a clock represents a time based on how we read it and if the time isn’t changing on the clock then it is correct twice a day.
