So the waterfall model is the best after all?

  I'm not sure that follows. If most programming is thinking, then it makes sense to minimise the amount of thinking that is wasted when circumstances later change.

  Wouldn't say so. An iterative model which has been up-front loaded with a firm architecture, feature elaboration, a rough development and testing plan, resources allocated and some basic milestones to hit so that upper mgmt. can get an idea when useful stuff might land. The development _process_ can be as agile-y as you like, so long as the development of features moves incrementally with each iteration towards the desired end-goal. But you have to be strict about scope.
