If you are trying to figure out and model something in your mind, then i am fully there with you. The problem is your marrying it to Agile and its Manifesto. They are a bunch of platitudes, there is no exact definition far less a process/methodology, it can mean anything, everything and nothing in a given context and thus have nothing concrete to recommend themselves. As you can see in this thread, the words Agile/Scrum invoke rather strong feelings amongst the HN crowd and hence your message has gotten lost. Instead, if you were to do a article on what/how you feel Taleb's ideas can be applied to Software Project/Risk Management, that would be an interesting and welcome read.
