That seems to imply loners tend to be more unusual in all respects, because of regression to the mean. If they weren't loners, they would regress to the mean of the people they associated with, which as the number of associates rises, tends towards the mean of the population.
So this theory explains the (anecdotally) observed fact that loners tend to be unusual people in other respects too.
