Yes, Ken Schwaber basically said this at Path to Agility on Thursday. I think his exact words were "it was just a word that we thought was clever, but it probably has more of an impact than if we had used 'rigid', or some other word."
At the end of the day the Manifesto really says they support collaboration and getting things done over planning and following a process. It doesn't say a thing about any of the practices that have been implemented in Agile's name.
