Even even ignoring that, I think part of the point that was made (in that and other podcasts) was that a lot of the "agile" practices are another form of "methodologies" to allow mediocre developers to deliver adequate code in corporate IT shops (nothing inherently wrong with that, just a world away to what fog creek does, what jeff does and probably what most of the contributors to this site do day to day). (note that mediocre is NOT the same as bad, although in context it can be "damning with faint praise" but that's not the context I mean here).
