Badass boasting from fictional evidence?
If anyone here knew anything about the Waterfall Model, they'd know it was only ever proposed sarcastically, as a perfect example of how real engineering projects never work. "Agile" is pretty goddamn fake, too. There's no replacement for actually using your mind to reason about what project-planning steps have the greatest expected value at any given time, and to account for unknown unknowns (ie: debugging, other obstacles) as well.
Yes, and I used it in that context: "We know about waterfalls" = "We know not to do waterfalls, so you don't need to tell us that". Thank you for that very charitable interpretation of my words.
Well, when you start off a sentence with "Yes, dear", the dripping sarcasm can be read multiple ways, none of them very useful or nice.
Whatever. No point fighting over tone given shared goals.
