Try dropping a roll of TP in the toilet, you will see what I mean.
That said it still has a finite ability to hold water.
Big issue with TP filters is typically that they plug very easily with contaminates vs other bypass filters, that said, filter elements are cheap, very available, and many believe that they filter better than anything.
Again, if you are interested, checkout bobistheoilguy.com forums, tons of very knoleageable people there.

Oil filters all have paper filter elements, of one variety or another.
True, the Stilko filter had no bypass valve as all the off-the-shelf, single use filters do. I changed my oil often enough that it wasn't an issue, but I can see where it might be, in certain circumstances (like if you never change your oil...)
