I wouldn't think there's anything magical to it. Keep in mind the context she operates in - one filled with nerdy founders. Based on most of the "nerds" I know, myself included, we tend to be less socially skilled. Someone who is very socially skilled would seem magical in that context. Just like our ability to make machines do things seems magical to regular folks. Personally I've invested a lot more time in my computer skills than my social ones. I imagine if it was the reverse I'd have some social radar. Instead I can make pixels do my bidding while peers in my age group have trouble with email but don't freak out about networking mixers. I think it would be pretty difficult for her to write about social radar. It probably involves a lot of intuition that has been learned and honed over years of socializing.
