Sure you can and you should. You’re not wrong, at least in some cases, but the Nordic countries have a huge level of built in trust in other people.
It also seems weird to lie in your CV, what are you going to do if you actually get the job? You’d fail horribly and get fired.
My point is that in some parts of the world you can actually trust resumes. If companies start making outrages demands, like 15 years of experience in a 10 year old technology, then of cause desperate people will lie.
Performance of developers within the same team and between companies differs hugely. Someone with some years of experience may be considered senior, and list some technologies in their resume that they've actually worked with, but their level of mastery may not be what you hope for. The differences you get by probing this or not during interviews will add up across a team, and be a real competitive advantage or disadvantage for your organization. And that goes for culture (hiring assholes, or even something more benign, like hiring people that are inarticulate) as much as it goes for technical skills.
And I don't think people typically lie on a resume. I do think there's a category of people that makes things look nicer than they are. I do think there's another category of people that just have a different perception of "mastery" than I do.
