I disagree with that assertion. When looking for my current position, I had a much higher response rate when each resume was tailored to the position.

Tailoring, in this case, meant relatively minor tweaks - if it was a more engineering role I'd highlight those skills and contributions whereas with the more data science-y roles I'd highlight more relevant aspects. I think it's very arrogant to think that a single resume is appropriate for every job application.
