It's "nearly" instead of "completely" because of cases like yours where there are verifiable facts that signal the candidate's capabilities.

A typical resume has none of that and is more like:

. BS from some un-ranked university

. 2 years at some company you've never heard of

.. Did things you have no way of verifying

. 2 years at another company you've never heard of

.. Did more things you have no way of verifying

You nailed it! I could copy/paste this over top every tech resume I get and it would be equally as valuable.
