I was told this once by a scrum trainer when I told him it sucked. I then challenged him to figure out which part we were doing wrong. He couldn't coz we pretty much did it to the letter - following the directives from another scrum trainer. I call it the no true scrumsman fallacy. Doing it "properly" means doing a series of mini waterfalls. Thats just how it was designed. I'd say it functions as a poor but semi functioning compromise between an intransigent waterfall management and an agile team.
