You've hit the nail squarely on the head. The problem with Agile isn't Agile itself, but the fact that humans can't keep themselves from using the data it produces to their own non-Agile ends.
But maybe Agile is the source of problem with Agile. Agile, to me, is like the nitroglycerine of development methodologies. The explosive instability of Agile isn't a problem from outside that corrupts Agile - it arises from the methodology itself, which inherently invites abuse.
