Strikes me that many sorts of methodologies and approaches need a reminder about this. The point of agility or any other engineering methodology is to get better at what you're doing, not a slavish adherence to a set of Ten Commandments without thinking about what they really mean for you and the folks with whom you work. I'll leave the obvious religious corollaries as an exercise for the reader.
