As I said, I doubt many people care that much about this.
Personally, if I wrote a book and had to resort in the marketing to telling people what my mum or dad had done if it was of no obvious relevance to the book itself, I hope I'd see that as padding even if entirely true.
But I guess it depends what kind of audience one is aiming for, and it's quite possible that the kind of people who might buy your book may well be impressed by that kind of thing.
I dare say that you have spent rather more time talking with people daft or ignorant enough to buy into your half-baked ideas than I have, and so you know your market to some extent.
