There's an awful lot of skill-less, successful people out there, more than everyone would like, I'm sure.

I'm sure that's true, but there are also a lot of "soft" skills that many HN readers wouldn't necessarily recognize as such.

I'm reminded of Poul Anderson's short story The Man Who Counts.

Soft skills needn't be generally beneficial either, of course, any more than hard skills.
