What about "forgetting" to attend a 10 minute meeting?

It wasn't a similar style.

The instances of people not attending standups I've seen were just symptoms of a larger problem, and such people did not last long in the company.
The boss has no easy way to tell if you read the emails or not. The consequences of lack of information are often hidden / long term.
In many countries, it's pretty much impossible to fire employees for forgetting to read an email.
> If you can ignore the emails and not get fired, that's proof in itself that the emails are not important, at least not to your boss.
I'll try a proof in a similar style - if Scrum was so wildly inefficient, the companies practicing it would be a long time out of business since companies with no meetings would easily outcompete them by offering better products/services for lower costs. Yet Scrum (or similar methodologies) are used in many successful companies all over the world, that's a proof that Scrum works.
How do you like them now, these oversimplistic "proofs"?
