OP here. I think I did a poor job of communicating this exact point. I agree with you - risk management is a part of good project management. The point I was attempting to convey is when organizations consider projects (or project tasks) as managed when all they've done is shift risk without consideration of the ability to _actually_ accomplish said project/task. The myopic focus on risk can get in the way of _actual_ accomplishment.
