The problem of Waterfall didn’t arise in the initial paper. It arose in subsequent interpretations. Particularly, see Parnas’ classic paper arguing that we should pretend to follow the “right” practices [which he defined as essentially Waterfall] even if we didn’t.

I call this Parnism. It’s Parnism we should fight, not Waterfall as such.
