"communicate their knowledge" makes no reference to social skills, nor does
any part of this paragraph.

> Why? Developers are paid to use their knowledge, not communicate it.

And "communicate" in the original context doesn't seem to refer to writers
at all. I don't see how I'm shifting the meaning of "communicate" at all.

Hmm. I feel like I'm in an Internet debating society.
