But that's the thing behind agile: you do nice, quick two-week (or however long your sprint is) waterfalls.

These quick loops are really the only difference, and are precisely where the advantage lies.

And having as short feedback loops as you can get away with has been sound engineering practice since before software was a thing.

Who says I can't have a 2 month sprint and gather feedback and do testing in those 2 months? Engineering has always done this and called it waterfall.

The difference now is more bureaucracy under agile.
