You are missing the point and trying to apply common sense to the situation, the people you have to get past as a first step to a job are low grade pen pushers who only look at your application and if it fails to meet the specification they have been given it will get binned.
The only chance you have if you don't exactly meet the spec is to somehow get your application directly to on to desk of one of the company's decision makers.
If you can't understand things that make no sense whatsoever you are trying to get into the wrong business, after all how if you can't understand this concept how are you ever going to be able to deal with airport security ?
