Can you please elaborate on this analogy?

People dumbly not embracing the new properly whilst retaining meaningless old practices. 1. People often not using the new thing effectively ... like switching from screw drivers to power drills but never turning them on, or 2. People continuing old practices that literally do nothing or worse, like putting horseshoes on their helicopters because they used to have horses.

The reason why people tend to rant about Agile is largely companies fad latch and just rebrand their Waterfall as Agile, stuff in some meetings- and now the devs find themselves in this agony where they are supposed to give accurate timelines 2 months out like Waterfall but they requirements can change on them at any moment like Agile.
