The filter is not like you standard filter and you should go and actually look at these filters before you state they will clog. I have mine here and I KNOW it won't clog.
We aren't dealing with solids here, only GAS, and LIQUIDS.

If there are no solids in your crankcase, why use an oil filter? The crank puts liquid oil from the sump into the air above the crankcase as a mist containing everything that is in the crankcase, including oil and the solids that you need an oil filter for. This mist is part of what you are sucking up in the PCV system. That is where the solids I am talking about are coming from. There may not be much, but you will never get me to believe they don't exist.
@ZL1power69: I don't expect you will have trouble with the filter element after a week or two of use. I'm talking about years and 10s of thousands of miles from now.
Really - You guys
may have a fool-proof system for trapping PCV emissions. I am not going to argue about it further because it's only a possibility I'm raising and I have nothing to back up my concerns except what I envision under worse-case usage. I don't think there is anything further that I can add to this discussion.
True experts are constantly being surprised when they see that something totally unexpected happened in a system they have studied for years and thought they knew everything there is to know about that system. You are only fooling yourselves if you think you "know" something, even in a simple system. I am humble enough to know that I don't "know" everything about much of anything of complexity.
Keep an eye on that trap and Good Luck. It's probably bullet-proof as LT says.
