EOE and anti ageism laws have existed for decades. How has that worked out?

Look at Agile, a movement that took a good idea and twisted it into the opposite.

The solution to dead laws is remove any chance of them being enforced? The solution to ageism is to make policies that attempt to enforce the laws and human rights illegal? Really? Thankfully nobody has made it illegal to do Agile correctly rather than following the tautological Official Agile Process(tm).
