Just for a guess, maybe because with the K&N it's not the size of the holes, but that the dust particles get trapped in the sticky oil? At least that was what happened with the "wet" filters I used to deal with on logging & construction equipment, where oil would circulate and the dust would settle out in the bottom pan... (Sorry if my description isn't clear: it's been a couple of decades.)
