You know, I always have that peculiar feeling when someone chimes in amidst an established conversation and says something about definitions.
People are bitching and moaning about this thing they're calling scrum but what they're describing isn't scrum by my experience or by what the Scrum Alliance describes. My point is that taking that article and going on with "scrum sucks!" is retarded.

And then it all derails into a highly abstract conversation about rainbow-colored unicorns.

they are so few and far between that we can write them off as a statistical error
If you want, it makes no difference to me. I'm on one of those teams right now so to me it's not a statistical error. I haven't put up with micromanagement for a couple of decades and I won't stay anywhere I'm not respected so those points aren't valid either. I haven't been doing official scrum for long but I have been doing a version of agile for a long time and every time the team has had a high degree of autonomy and code ownership and all the other stuff that guy was complaining about being missing. So none of these criticisms of agile wash with me.

"true Islam" not being the murderous flavour the majority either practices or endorses, never mind the fact that these "peaceful Muslims" are so few and far between that they are well within error margin,
Oh, I see, you're one of those. Very good, carry on with your bullshit.
