Which makes asking for a resume, rather pointless. There would likely be a lot more acceptance of fizzbuzz take home tests and so on; if that was instead of writing up resumes (replace one time suck with another instead of adding a second one in). However that makes it hard to justify paying recruiters.
Given how Da Vinchi had a resume its amazing we still use them. (His was better thoigh, it had his name and address, dates he worked for people and their names and address)

I wouldn't go that far. It still weeds out the honest-but-unqualified with minimal effort - it's basically a good early filter. This actually works for the candidate too - how much would it suck to 6 hours of interviews and then get told you don't have the right degree or some such?
