Bait-and-switch article title.
I really hoped for some fascinating exploration of CV dishonesty and the game theory behind it. There's a much more interesting discussion around the 90% of the people who don't take the falsehoods out of their story, and whether it's ultimately good or bad for society that they do so. (I can take either side on the "Are CV lies good for the world?" debate.) This fell short of what I was hoping for.
Ok, I'm going to go back to leading my team of Level 27 ninja-pirates and saving the world with a 468-node Spark cluster now.
