> The Agile example makes this worse, not better. Yes, Agile was overhyped and badly implemented in many places. But using that to indict the entire movement as Girardian ritual is precisely the logical move the author claims to be critiquing: take some real failures, blame them on a paradigm rather than specific implementations, declare the whole thing rotten. He scapegoats Agile to validate his theory about scapegoating

I don't think the author did that at all. He was fair to interactive development. He specifically points out the scapegoating of waterfall, where the methodology was misrepresented in order to create the space for agile.
