The clock is about confirmation after the fact. It's not for prediction, because it creates infinite possibilities. There are also a large number of "confirmations" that could be coincidence, so it's a matter of probability. More confirmations happen than would be expected by random chance, to the point of mathematical impossibility. An analogy would be flipping a coin a large number of times. If it lands 1 head and 3 tails, you don't have enough information to tell if the coin is perfectly balanced or not. If you get 1 million heads and 3 million tails, it would be mathematically impossible for the coin to have equal probability of heads and tails. If anyone is trying to use it as prophecy, they'll run into near infinite possibilities, almost all of which won't come to pass. Think of it as an extremely large number of 1-in 60 chances. If the "rolls" come up as one of these 1/60 chances significantly more often than 1/60 of the time for a large number of rolls, it means there's a pattern, and it's not just random chance. It also keeps the clowns guessing, since it's not about prediction, but confirmation, but they don't learn, and they'll keep chasing false leads based on their ego-based predictions.
