By using phrases like "soft skills" for interpersonal skills, job descriptions accidentally paint them as non-essential.
This is like calling the keyboard and screen of a personal computer "soft features".
Truly computer literate people should only need a motherboard to work.

Only two really: being rich or being unique/irreplaceable.
Even negative skills like being able to threaten or hurt are interpersonal.
House (House M.D.) has a great story about being irreplaceable (which led to his decision to become a doctor, it was the only way he could get society to tolerate him) — youtube.com/watch?v=XCANzO
