  etc.....they have ALL of it.

    I can.  The odds that anything dating back more than 10 years
    will be relevant to an open position are fairly slim, especially
    for
    an individual contributor, and if there's 25 years of experience
    in a resume and most of it doesn't support an application for the
    current position it tends to suggest an inability to focus on
    critical
    subject matter and trim the irrelevant.
