No, I think you could say that Haskell allows you to be good at the first. Working with stakeholders to help define requirements is not a skill you pick up with functional programming. In fact, my comment you're quoting really isn't dependent on what language you are using. It's more or less just a correlation about the haskell devs that were hired. Was trying to point out that finding people who learned haskell on their own time aren't always a good fit.

I'd go as far as to say it's not a skill you pick with any programming language, paradigm or technology. It's an important skill which happens to be orthogonal to the technology you're using.
