I find one problem with retros is they violate the principle of "praise in public, criticism in private". People instinctively understand that and thus there tends to be more praise. Everyone hears themselves praising the process and thus start to believe it actually is good. Therefore more Scrum gets done, no matter if it's actually good for the team or company or not. Recently I went to a retro where the positives were listed as a great team, great accomplishments in the last sprint, thanks to person X for going the extra mile, and so on. When it came to discuss the negatives, the main one was "the meeting room was hard to find".
