Writing great code doesn't require good communication skills. But building a welcoming community does. Unfortunately a CoC does rarely help here. It can even worsen the situation, as seen in Katie's example - because it makes people with low communication skills think that their communication is good as soon as their point can be proven by written rules like a CoC. That's not what a CoC is for.
