it's very religion like...

The say they are doing scrum, but they aren't really doing scrum

He says he's a christian but it's clear to me that he wasn't one all along.



Lots of people claim to be Christians but don't forgive, turn the other cheek or love their neighbors because it doesn't suit them to but it does suit them to claim to be Christian.

So any successfully communicated methodology is going to be claimed by lots of hypocrits and then perverted while they simultaneously boast how much they love it.

And then you'll get the opposite kind of person who doesn't believe in forgiveness or loving their neighbors and sees a great chance to attack those ideas by supporting the hypocrits deception and claiming that their perversion is the real (evil) religion.

None of this helps software get built but is just a power struggle between developers who don't want to reduce the bus factor or despecialise or write tests or do maintenance or change their great plans to suit circumstances.


the problem is, it's hard to prove that someone is not a true "_____". Because the definitions are not well defined.
