I'll try a proof in a similar style - if Scrum was so wildly inefficient, the companies practicing it would be a long time out of business since companies with no meetings would easily outcompete them by offering better products/services for lower costs. Yet Scrum (or similar methodologies) are used in many successful companies all over the world, that's a proof that Scrum works. How do you like them now, these oversimplistic "proofs"?
