I believe your assumption is correct. I have interviewed over 100 candidates and have generally found that people who list a lot of things often do not know them well.

Unfortunately, CV's talk about skills and experience people have, while the person I want to hire is someone with higher intelligence and solid foundation who can pick up new things fast. I have not observed any correlation (positive or negative) between the number of skills people list and pure intelligence.
