So doesn't this justify what I said in my previous post:

I agree that making judgements of others based purely on social value would be
extremely limited and superficial but it is one (initial) part of the process of
understanding others and judging them. To make this the whole basis of judgement
would be foolish. When our experience of others includes intellectual interction as well
then we have a broader basis from which to judge.

Judgements made purely from a social point of view such as your example would be, as
I said, extremely limited and superficial but necessary nonetheless as a starting point.
Otherwise how do we proceed?
