It's hard to imagine anyone purusing it on that basis, but as I said, lying on your resume is grounds to be fired.
Think of it his way (it's a
much better anlogy):
You're a lawyer. Say you want to hire a lawyer for your firm, to practicie a relatively specialized area of law. You need someone with particular training and experience. There are several headhunter companies that will eagerly send you candidates. One of them sends you a candidate that lied on their resume, about something that make a difference in your hiring decision.. You find out they
knew this candidate had lied on their resume. Would you be likely to do business with them again? Or would you prefer one of their competitors? That's IMDB's position, once they suspect she has lied in her profile. (Mitigated a little bit by the fact that such lying is pretty normal in Hollywood, and all lawyer jokes aside, it's not among lawyers.)

We're not arguing. We're both just repeating ourselves over and over like demented parrots.
