I'm just claiming that "social intelligence" is loaded terminology if you haven't yet demonstrated that the things which we normally think of as "social intelligence" (courage in asking for raises, for example) actually are the main driver of career success modulo IQ. If we did a study and it turned out that most career success was driven by physical attractiveness, then your definition of "social intelligence" would still be logically valid, but it would be awful terminology.
Good point.
