I'm not sure if the "moral" here is that he should have really been working instead ... I think it's nerd chic to be above social interaction, to discuss interacting with other people as if it is the pedestrian and useless frivolity of human culture.

Agreed. However, there's a third possible state between "working but in a rut" and "at a social gathering he doesn't want to be at" which I call "everything else".
I didn't say that he should have gone back to work, just that he shouldn't go to social events he's not feeling like attending. I suggested that a long walk would do wonders for unblocking his problem.
