There are definitely cases where people can ignore social niceties and make significant accomplishments. I was thinking more of predatory behavior, though. It goes beyond ignoring distraction to actively harming others. Inside a society, I'm not sure how valuable that is. As I noted in the article, though, the propensity for that sort of behavior could conceivably be useful in "tribal" conflict situations, or even in modern warfare.
