Absolutely - some people hear, "people before process", think it sounds great, then immediately go looking for a process to implement it and find Scrum.

I think that's largely the fault of the manifesto. It is entirely unclear about what putting "individuals before process" actually means.

One way I've seen it used was as a way to justify organizing meetings as a means to solve an increase in defect regressions rather than allocating extra work on automated tests.

The former was "individuals and interactions" and the latter was tools and processes. I thought it was a reasonable interpretation and also wrong.
