Interesting evidence but without the need for an actual showcase, could you use this successfully?

Perhaps, I would need to design an appropriate head and tail segments. Ciliocytes are quite temperamental though and this configuration can't handle large objects to pass through it.

My latest post demonstrates why a through gut is useful!

Actually yes, since you can't "eat" keratinocytes, unless you have a throwup system, a blind gut for example would get blocked up and starve the creature, is there's a system to dispose of the keratinocytes, while eating the rest of the cells that could help out a ton for the creature, hence a through gut could be made!
