I think both the rebuttal and the original articles are good, but talk about different things. The original one seems to talk about the way Agile tends to be done, especially via the world of corporate, consultant agile, certified scrum masters and so on, whereas the rebuttal is talking from the point of view of what Agile should be. Two very different things, both very valid, and in a sense the discrepancy between the two tells you a lot about the state of agile itself.

That said I love the thing about ending Sillicon Valley bullshit - IMO it has led to a lot more hurt than good.
