So wrong it's not even funny. I've hired / interviewed many candidates for jobs and generally speaking, the less I know (to an extent) the better. It's easy to judge character, work ethic, intentions, skills, and overall chemistry with an individual based on interviews and talking with them face to face. I do find any reason to not hire someone, and if I have a lot more information that doesn't pertain to the job but it can be based of my own personal preference (ie, facebook information that is publicly shown), then I can nitpick all I want.
Keep in mind that how other interviewers think isn't necessarily the same way as you. Regardless of if the information is actually useful or not, they might want it anyways. It's not like all interviewers are good at what they do.
