That's not really true: The ntpd from the NTP reference implementation
will raise a so-called 'clock panic' if the system time is off by more
than the panic threshold (compile-time configurable as it seems) of
1000s. If the daemon was started with -g (Debian default), it will
ignore the first panic and change the clock nevertheless. A subsequent
one will cause it to exit.
