I'm not sure we mean the same thing by 'boring'. Boring, to me, doesn't mean that the person doesn't have hobbies, rather it means that the person is a perfectly nice person who just doesn't gel with the team.

That said, larger organisations do depend upon outsiders to prevent groupthink, so this is a multi-faceted issue.
