I seldom get candidates identified by screeners as "potentially promising" who turn out to be utter duds, so screeners not understanding what I want is seldom the issue, and the fact that my "last chance" review of passed over resumes seldom turns up someone that the screeners have missed tells me that that's not much of an issue for me either.
The problem with a resume that is truly "goofy" (that this, one that doesn't present the information the person who is most likely to read it most needs to see in a way that is most likely to be noticed in the less than thirty seconds or so that the resume will most likely to be viewed), is not that the reader doesn't understand the job description. It is that the reader doesn't understand the resume. The old "know your audience" saw applies to resumes as well as to technical documents.
