Agile retrospectives are supposed to include discussion about switching up your process to deal with a problem.
Lean management is about picking a small number of processes that are easy to remember and keep backlogs ('inventory') from becoming a liability. And then sticking with them.
I've heard it argued by a former mentor, and people who write books, that Scrum is/has become a Lean process. I still haven't found a counterargument that I think will convince any of them.
A process that is meant to engage everyone in fixing everything but the sacred cow draws attention to the sacred cow. The dissonance is something that people who spend all day thinking in terms of logic prefer not to look at, and so this makes some people angry, others sad, and everyone uncomfortable.
