Complex things (life/political systems/software) cannot be built based on a manifesto or commandments. See where Christianity and communism got us.

When you reduce complexity into simple but interpretable phrases, we always open doors to priesthoods (Agile coaches, the church, The Communist Party) who claim to know the right way and try to impose a rigid structure on everybody else in their respective communities.

I wish a more scientific method to software development could have been possible. And Agile is not it.
