The poster's point is that it's not obviously defective from that standpoint, despite criticisms that imply that it is.

Almost exactly my point. There’s a fairly strong set of evidence that it’s safety-neutral at worst.

I love kanban. It's not perfectly suited for knowledge work, though. Great for smaller projects and for places where precise scoping and predictability is less important than just making progress.
