That would be like putting a tractor driver in a Cessna and when the plane crash clamr that Cessnas are inherently unsafe to use. Yes, scrum requires buy in and some basic level of competence. If one or both of these are missing in an organization and they still say they use scrum then that can hardly be blamed on scrum.
