A better parallel to lying, which most nerds would actually benefit from and therefor should actually try to install in themselves, is one against interrupting non-nerds.

I recently did a Bloggingheads diavlog with Jaron Lanier in which, as I judge, I had trouble interrupting enough, and really should have just started talking over him. You can judge if this is correct when the video comes out. I suppose this doesn't really fit your bill, as it may not count as a case of interrupting a non-nerd.
