The TFA still talks about talking to one's customers, so this doesn't really contradict it.

> If your team can’t ship without deadlines, the lack of deadlines is not the problem. Your team’s careless attitude about customer feedback is.

> When teams obsess about customer feedback, they ship as early as possible so that they can listen to their customers.

> For customer-centric teams, artificial deadlines are useless because the only “deadline” that matters already exists: “as soon as possible, as long as it’s valuable.”

You're choosing to conflate listening to customer feedback with Agile.

Yup this you ship as fast and often as possible and then listen customer feedback. Deadlines traditional sense are working against you here because what they imply is some-kinda fixed set of features what are delivered to certain date.
