People have always overstated their qualifications. If done right, it can make the difference between getting called for an interview and having your resume end up in the bottom of the recycling bin.
I think that it's a natural response to capricious HR job applicant weeding techniques. If you want your resume to look good, you have to sell all the bullshit menial tasks in your work history. If you don't, your resume is just going to get tossed for lacking "that certain sparkle." These types of embellishments are encouraged by resume coaches because, apparently, that's the type of shit hiring managers go for.
