Note that this isn't saying to not consider the future for planning, just to not be bewildered by it.

This happens in software. People try to imagine all the possible future uses so have a huge, conflicting set of requirements that is a massive undertaking to implement. Then the agile people just focus on what's needed now, using approaches that give them flexibility to change in the future. This is probably a key thing: when considering alternatives, prefer ones that leave flexibility in the future.
