"The problem with any methodology is they tend to lead people to stop thinking about the context they are operating in." Sometimes (quite often actually) that is precisely what we need. It would be quite bothersome to feel the need to explain the reasoning behind every decision and put everything you're doing in context. How about actually doing any work? Pick a methodology that fits your context, work according to the methodology and regularly evaluate the fit between the context and your methodology. Ofcourse, don't overdo methodology, but don't overdo not-methodology either. Try to find a balance that works. Don't let the means become the goal.
