1) I'm assuming if you're old enough to want to keep years off your education, then you're probably old enough that you're not putting work history from your early/mid 20's on your resume. Maybe you're 40 and only need to put your last 10 years to show relevant work history. This probably varies a lot person to person, but for me it works very well.
2) Getting an interview is all a resume is good for in the first place. Now they've invested their time in you and you have a chance to sell yourself.
3) Same here, but even people who "know" me professionally don't necessarily know my age. I certainly don't know all of their ages! Plus if they know you, they already have an incentive to care less about your age.
