I’m not really sure what happened to that thread either. It’s nonsense that you can predict where someone will end up based on physical attractiveness. However, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t play a part. It does. There’s plenty of evidence developed by psychologists showing we are more inclined to like and trust attractive people. That can’t help but be a benefit in interviewing. That said, being pretty isn’t going to make up for being below median or going to a bad school. Like any other plus factor, it can help but it won’t be dispositive.
