Correctness as opposed to usefulness would be correspondence to reality.
There’s a general problem of how to establish correspondence, a problem which applies to many things other than causality. You can’t infer that something corresponds just because it is useful, but you also can’t infer that something does not correspond just because it is useful—“in the map” does not imply “not in the territory”.
