"Technical" skills just means a person has or can switch to a "technical" mindset, which I find to be quite different from non-technical people. Not to say that one is better than the other, but I do find it much, much easier to communicate with other people who have "technical" skills than those who do not. Mainly because I also happen to think in similar way. In that regards, it's a very useful heuristic.
