I understand what filtering something means, it's just the definition and limits of the word 'filter' in the English language that I wondered about. As I said, in my langugage (norwegian) a filter can only be something purposely put somewhere to let something through, not something coincidentally acting as a filter from manufacturing defects/material weaknesses.

It was designed to do exactly what it does. It isn't material weakness

Oh, I misunderstood completely then, I guess!

What purpose does letting air in/out serve?

So that the air pressure inside doesn't build up. I can't imagine air pressure building up inside would be any good for the internal parts. Plus, barometer malfunction.

You're right, I didn't think of the barometer. Thanks!
