I was reading Damon Poole note on values of agile development and stumbled upon this phrase: "The vocabulary doesn't matter either. I don't happen to like the idea of creating new words when there are perfectly good words that mean the same thing."

That is exactly the point I have been trying to formulate after seeing multiple attempts to create Pattern Language out of nothing, by just naming a process Process. Creators Of New Words and Pattern Inventors, may Occam's Razor drop on you.

Damon also hits the nail on the head saying that the whole value of and the only point of agile software development is in short iterations. I'd like to add to this that "agile coaches" have plugged in the rest to allow them to coach innocent consulting victims and to sell books full of aforementioned rest to the same poor clients. Agile shamelessness it is.
