Some bit of silica gets past the best-in-test filter, too. How much is too much? How much is worth talking about? What's the difference between one stone and two stones when compared to a quarry? It's either "100%" or "negligible".

Regarding over-oiling the filter... Isn't the solution to not over-oil the filter? Burned my dinner? Blame the oven - it's a piece of crap... it burns food! You can't blame the hardware on operator error, no matter how many lawsuits suggest otherwise.
