The few I've talked to were far too knowledgeable to be some sort of incognito booth babes.

Perhaps it's because of the negative stereotype that the more attractive a women is, the less intelligent she is, or at least less likely that she's a technical person. And perhaps it's not just men that make this assumption.

I didn't say they were dumb, just that they aren't very knowledgeable about their product. They don't work for the companies they promote and don't get much training. They work for an agency that is hired by the company. They're given some talking points and then told who to point anyone to who needs to know more.
