This is as good a reason as any to dispense with enhancing adverbs like extremely, very, and quite. They are for the lazy (at least, my Vocabulary Building teacher in High School used to say so).
Which reminds me of this teaser for The West Wing episode, "Galileo." If you don't want to watch the whole four minutes, just skip to the last one where the President tells the poor PR guy from NASA that something can't be "very unique" (since unique already means one of a kind) or "extremely historic". It is one of my favorites from the show:
BTW. When you said the informations was "quite interesting in its own right" and "quite differently" -- which meanings were you intending us to take from that?
