This is complete horse shit.  This statement assumes that the only factor in social interactions is the skill of ONE of the parties. Getting along involves two or more people, and intent is as big a factor as social skill is. For example, you are unlikely to get along well with someone who hates you, no matter how good your social skills are.   Claiming that social skills are a guarantee of getting along with everyone ignores the fact that not everyone wants to get along with you. The fact that this elementary observation completely escapes the author, in turn, casts doubt upon may of the other dubious statements in the article, which I find highly slanted and terribly simplistic.
