I also use the Agile vs. agile distinction. Big-A Agile is a product, while little-a agile is a philosophy. If you're blindly subscribing to the processes espoused by thought leaders, you're going to have problems no matter how good the philosophy. You need to be constantly evaluating, retrospecting, and iterating on your processes to make sure that they're the best they can be for your particular situation.
