No, I don't, since it was never my interest to begin with to say that Agile is the original mover of all software problems, just like I'm not interested in saying that capitalism is the original mover of all human problems.
Criticism of a system has nothing to do with original causality and everything to do with "the system is not accomplishing the goals well enough". It can be done on any system in vacuum, and should be done in vacuum, because dealing with deep rooted causes is part of the package and is one of the reasons we devise systems in the first place.
Surely it is ridiculous to say that we can't criticize the US government structure because human corruption is older than the Constitution? Yet this is basically what your argument path is implying. There's nowhere to go from here but doing nothing because, news flash, the deep rooted problems are here to stay, and if we're going to excuse every system from those problems we can as well pack our bags and go back to Feudalism.
- Sharlin 8y agoNo, the original commenter threw in ”because capitalism” in a context where that causation is clearly not obvious, and failed to give any justification for the claim. They got justly downvoted for a poor argument.
- phry 8y agowasn’t really an argument in the first place, but it seems to be quite obvious given that capitalism aims at the maximization of profits, and that slavery is a form of labor that extracts the most wealth from its subjects
