The entire thing is a thought experiment; of course it's easy to think up nightmare scenarios for Agile development. It would be much more interesting to read about actual disasters.

Its a hypothetical that I have experienced on several projects now, project managers can have a totally warped understanding of agile in that they think they can change course at any point and it won't have any resulting costs in either time or complexity.

Sounds like you could have written a much better article than this one, then! Cautionary tales are much better when they're real and not imaginary.
Mods, please fix the title.

Im curious, what was the original headline?
The article makes a very reasonable argument, however I wish he wouldn't try to introduce some new term, Agile "governance". He's just describing what we already know -- that Agile isn't Agile and care must be taken to institute it correctly. via "governance" as he calls it but this isn't a new revelation.
