Situation: You need a quick "agile bashing" phrase...

Tumblogs are pretty cool, really simple blogs that can give your musings a whole lot of character.  When surfing by one particular Tumblog I ran across this quote - that I've actually heard a hundred times from linear process devotees.  It always amuses me when I see something like this, because a weak statement can feel incredibly strong when it supports what youre saying.  I personally don't think this says much more than "bad project managers are bad.", but I guess "meaning" is in the mind of the reader.

I see some teams that use the word “agile” when they really mean “chaotic”.
