When discussing the value of methodology under faulty belief in the section titled The Methodology Emperor Has No Clothes I did not address whether any specific methodology was good or bad.  I simply was observing that methodology is not a critical factor to optimal achievement.  At best it is a minor efficiency issue.   The point being that if you fail one of the 5 critical factors then no matter how efficient the methodology you will not do well.  You might say it is more important to do the right thing, than to do things right.

It is possible that a methodology is bad in that it has no redeeming characteristic of increasing efficiency.   In my simulations I found that an organization that followed all five of the critical success factors would not fail no matter how inefficient the methodology.
