Ntp doesn't guarantee correct time, it's just another way to screw it up. (Like gentoo overwriting the config with garbage by default.)
It _does_ guarantee that you have the same time as a server or a set of peers, within a given tolerance. This is helpful if you want to correlate log data on different hosts, or run "make" in an NFS-mounted directory.
