While this is a very good start and me having that skill helped me a lot, we should not forget that many PMs and all sorts of managers simply love changing requirements after just one call with the CEO or the finance department.

...And then they "forget" to tell you that they changed the requirements. And have not written down that anywhere.

...And then that happens 4 more times.

...And then a month later it's the engineer's fault that he's not part of the hive mind and does not read thoughts.

So I don't disagree, communication and other soft skills are certainly invaluable. But they don't filter out bad manager actors.
