Competency versus birds of a feather, flock together, two

Further in addition to the short and time limited video:

When I stated that someone may not fit in socially, this could mean that a more competent person does not socially relate, and/or a more competent person does not fit into social rules.

Relating socially is different than relating based on social rules. It is possible a person could relate socially, but not be acceptable based on social rules. The rejection of this type of person is ethically and philosophically problematic. It is also theologically problematic with strong Hebrew Bible and New Testament ethics on good human character being essential for proper human relationships. For example, the high ethical standards for overseers in 1 Timothy and Titus. As well, the Book of James demands a high level of ethics as it informs the believer not to favour the rich person over those that are not wealthy.

In the audio/video, I state that being relatable is often more important than being more competent. This does not imply agreement in each context...
