I'm in general agreement, for that specific response (notwithstanding  
my earlier and grumpier message.)  But would the resume get past the  
droids in HR and etc for an actual engineering manager to see it in  
the first place?

It's a tough job; your resume has to be "standard" enough to get past  
software and HR people, and "special" enough to attract attention from  
actual hiring managers.
