In fairness, the geyser in question is Old Faithful, among the best-known geysers in the world, renowned for its regularity.

I’m not sure that it’s particularly more regular than most other geysers, but that’s what is known for.

Before a 1959 earthquake, Old Faithful had a very regular cycle time - thus the name. Since then, the name has become less apt.
