The things is -- they ding you for a whole range of other things, all the time. Like not working for the right kind of company in your last job, failing their bullshit tests, or heaven forbid, having a "gap" in your resume. As if having a life (or a family member that needs taking care of) is to be seen as thumbing your nose at their sacred cause.

At least fixing stupid mistakes in your resume is well within your control, and (unlike cramming for their tests) doesn't take hours and hours of your time.
