Thanks James. I have to admit that I struggle with the "No true Scotsman" argument. I think that in the case of Agile, there is a set of principles and values clearly defining what it is. For a project to be Agile it needs to follow these. (Most projects ignore them and they just follow some Scrum practices). Just saying that you are Agile doesn't make it so.

Yep, these islanders build airstrip and related infrastructure following good engineering practices, yet no cargo comes. Instead comes a consultant with his "No cargo because you're doing it wrong", and now they build the airstrip under his guidance following Agile principles. Still no cargo. The consultant continues with his "No cargo means what you're still doing it wrong" ... The Agile is the epitome of a cargo-cult.
