Youre right basic social skills are absolutely a baseline but being charming/sociable/a social butterfly and being able to integrate into a team, collaborate, express technical ideas to others and vice versa arent necessarily the same thing. My most effective teachers/mentors/role models throughout my life were often by all accounts kind of awkward sometimes. I think we as a society put lots of emphasis on the former and conflate it with the latter.
