100% agree. I think you're right. When it comes to anyone, from any background or person they need to be able to work in a social environment. My manager is super sharp/super smart, can teach me to save his life. But tough love

I was looking at this from more of an 'efficiency' perspective actually. Text-based protocols have a bit of an overhead as they require sending more data to transmit the same amount of information. So what benefits outweigh this?
