If Scrum is X, but everyone saying "Scrum" is referring to Y, is Scrum X or Y?

The answer is it doesn't matter. The problem here is that people are doing Y not X, and discussing semantics is only useful as an appeal to authority (which to be fair can be pretty darn useful sometimes).

Scrum/Agile are useful tools to get buy in and a bit of restructuring done, but I feel as soon as you start doing real work you will just have to figure out what flavor works for your team, and what modifications need to be made to the process to make that happen.

The Agile Methodology is to argue about The Agile Methodology.

It's the CIA Simple Sabotage Field Manual applied to project management.

Any work accomplished is entirely accidental, and will be remedied during the next sprint planning meeting.

There's a painful parallel to democracy here but that would probably be too off topic.
