Correctness is the property of a description that accords with the thing being described. When you ask, "What are my terminal values?", you are seeking just such a description. A belief about terminal values can be correct or incorrect when it reflects or doesn't reflect the terminal values themselves. This is not fundamentally different from a belief about yesterday's weather being correct or incorrect when it reflects the weather correctly or incorrectly. Of course, the weather itself can't be "correct" or "incorrect".
