As usual you didn't or was unwilling to see the point.

Anyone who has done real development has XP experience, because XP was
originally an attempt at capturing real development practices.

The problem with XP as "XP", putting a name to it and trying to define it,
wrt. to producing quality or anything at all, is the attempt at reducing
intelligence to simple imposed rules, a "methodology", which is just urine,
and therefore also very popular with pointy-haired persons.
