I agree. As a hiring manager, I prefer to do resume reviews. It's an activity that can be done with a six pack (or bottle) in the evening, and still be 10x as accurate and efficient as an HR manager. One would think they would have the pattern recognition, but they don't know enough to read between the lines. ("She doesn't have any technologies listed on the resume, and didn't graduate college, but went straight to an engineering job at Apple after 2 years at U of I and has been there for 5 years" is something that a hiring manager would appreciate and an HR manager would miss.)
