> if you go into something with the intention of 'this sucks' and then do not even want to make it work
we can rephrase this as "the serum didn't work because you didn't have faith in it."

But the GP point is valid. not every iteration can be blamed on "scrum" anymore than anything bad that happens in life can be blamed on Satan. If people want it to fail, they can make it fail.
But that said, to slightly counter my own point: I think that demonstrates a weakness with Scrum. If people following the system (even malicous compliance) can make it fail, then the system is flawed. It obviously sucks for those people or they wouldn't have a bad attitude about it. For example, Scrum likes to pretend that all engineers are fungible, but this is clearly wrong and a big problem with the system.
People are stuck in their ways and don't actually want to try anything new. That's why management always fails- you can't manage people.
Those damn people. Business would go so much better if you didn't have to hire them /s
