I think many people think soft skills are not real -- that if you are good at a hard skill such as theoretical calculations, you are automatically good at soft skills such as explaining it to a lay audience.

Feynman had a rare talent for explanation, which few physicists have. This talent is just as real as his talent for physics.

It's also not really part of your job description: You're supposed to advance the state of the art of theoretical physics, not "waste time" trying to come up with better explanations for the layperson.

Depends on who you are. There's someone where it is part of their job description.
