> You know the problem with those principles? They are not a methodology.
No, that's not the problem with the five values and twelve principles.
In fact, the problem is the desire to have a single, divinely ordained methodology (which both the first value and twelfth principle reject, and that rejection is arguably the central basis of Agile.)
OTOH, while it is good that the Manifesto and Principles don't ordain a methodology a it's bad that they are written in a way which makes it harder to extract actionable direction than is necessary.
