Okay some of this is goofy but so what? I'm going to turn down a highly competent software engineer listing experience at Microsoft and Instagram because they organized a potato sack race or mention some obscure coffee brand?
Much less the ridiculousness of grinding to 14nm particles.

If the education and job experience is made up, how do you know you're not getting calls because you sent a fake CV mentioning great education and relevant past jobs?
Meta (Facebook) is even going as far to change its ticker on 12/1 to reflect the new name.
They'll care when they get to the offer stage, call up your references, and discover that you didn't actually work at Microsoft.
Deployed software to Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac and Google Android. Configured firewall to block Facebook and Netflix.
To be more precise, they “don’t care” that the system produces false positives. Did you consider they made this decision with full knowledge of the trade offs?
Yes, that would be my general assumption. Why wouldn't i think that?
They are still not caring about a large part of the contents of the resume. Whether that's good or bad, whether they thought long and hard or made that decision on a whim, is totally irrelavent to whether they care about the info in question.
