    It implies that that’s a quality you should be judging people on, even if their looks have no bearing on the situation.

    That certainly shouldn’t be how it is, but there’s a lot of evidence to support that it is how it is. Just because we don’t like it being that way doesn’t mean it doesn’t impact people’s perceptions.

    Forbes article about the phenomenon:

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2021/11/04/attractive-people-have-a-big-advantage-in-the-job-interview/

    Harvard study about the “Beauty Premium”:

    Beauty and the Labor Market (1994), referenced by the Harvard study:

    To quote Eddie Izzard from her special Dress to Kill:

    And… As I say, 70 per cent how you look, 20 per cent how you sound, only 10 per cent is what you say. He said, “I am a doughnut,” they went wild!

    I don’t disagree that it was kind of pointless to bring up, but just saying… it’s a thing.

      to save some folks a click:

      the phenomenon is called the “halo effect”, and the opposite is also the case and called the “horns effect” (ugly people/things getting more negative judgement based on appearance).

      there’s a LOT of research into these effects (for obvious reasons)…
