If only because information about a person is not exactly contained within the physical person, it is contained in its enviroment as well. This is especially true when you think of spells as True Strike. Heck, even the person that is being divined might not even have  thought of his next combat maneuvers, and he might never will (because he is hardly the only factor in deciding where he is going to be on the moment true strike goes off).People won't see the person's friends, or even the enviroment if the Mind Blanked person is being scried, because when we see friends shaking hands with something 'invisible', or answering questions that we don't hear asked, we are divining information about that person. Can we not see his reflection on the mirror nearby, not hear what words he utters to the scrying sensor, but do we see orcs suddenly grow gaping wounds when an unnoticed assailant cuts through them? Is only 'some' information not gathered?Do powers from the other planes not answer when asked about a historical events that our currently Mind Blanked person participated in, however indirectly, because they might reveal information about the Mind Blanked person, when the wizard uses Contact Other Plane? If they do not answer questions about the 'assassination of King Osric', do they not imply that our Mind Blanked person is involved and thereby still allow you to gather information about him through this divination spell.Clearly, such a broad interpretation leads to utter nonsense, when truly applied as you say it must. Information gathering is too broad a term, even when only applied to all divination spells.</blockquote>
