A common point of contention is that agile is a list of philosophical guidelines, not a hard-and-fast framework for how to do things. A "true agile" shop should be periodically reviewing and updating their processes in the light of what makes the most sense. If, however, "being agile" is an organizational checkbox then some form of generally accepted agile methodology will be implemented whether it is the best fit for the company, whether the teams truly understand it, and without a built-in plan to reflect and decide if they are even doing agile right or if it's actually benefiting the organization.
