There is a tendency for people that are less skilled to pad their resume a bit to try and give the appearance of being more rounded and knowledgeable. This backfires for a couple reasons. The first reason is that it is fairly well-known and accepted now that people who list too much are usually trying to compensate, and are stigmatized. The second reason is that these candidates, if chosen, may be asked about the technology in an interview and will not be able to answer tech questions about the technology. I would think that those in the know will limit the amount of technologies they list based on the job spec and their experience level. It isn't really useful to list something that you read one article about.
