Agile/Scrum and all forms of project management is a scam you should work in layers serving layer above, have wbs and tasks assigned out of it in your layer, justifying urgency by impact on business/users, reward people who accept and close most tasks by appreciation and break. And fire anyone who misbehaves.
I believe, they are describing real world consequences of scrum/agile and how real management uses it, which might be different from what the manifesto actually hoped.
