Otherwise it's probably not a good hire. I agree. Huzzah!

I tend to go for "curious" people. They have to ask a lot of quesstions of me (or at least previous people in the interview loop) to show they want to be there. Asking questions about the company/team is a sign that the candidate wants to buy.
