I'd pur it slightly differently; I think a certain degree of common ground is essential, for good communication, mutual understanding and the like, and that shared interests can be a good [ but not perfect ] indicator of such.

I also think there's something to be said for having a reasonable nuber of not-previously-shared interests to which one can introduce the other party, and vice versa, because showing people new cool things is such fun.
