I think the gist of it is that TODO-lists don't get done, but that just fine. They are still useful. The purpose of TODO is not to commit to doing something, it is to create a possible plan for accomplishing something. Whether you ever get to actually doing it, it is good to have a plan, in case you a) need to do it b) realize at the time of doing it that there is a better way of doing it, or that in fact you need to do less, or do some different things.
