I used to make custom motorcycle frames for several large distributers. On one batch we had been assigned the wrong serial numbers to stamp on the steering heads. The retailer realized their mistake after we had delivered them so I had to go to their warehouse, buff the numbers out and re stamp. The owner complimented me on doing a great job of this. I told him it was a skill that should probably not appear on a resume.

Some things are improved by video. Then there was this. It would have taken about ten seconds to get that same information in text. I don't need to see a pizza van drive up to get "don't include irrelevant work experience".

That probably WOULD disqualify you in a lot of real-world situations - academia, journalism, corporate CEOs. People in those fields are spooked by the notion of morality coming from a higher power. They want morality to come from themselves, and to be unchecked.
