No, you've got one user who has convinced himself that one swallow does a summer make.
Bill is just a magnet for such things. You'll find a defect in any filter line up from any filter manufacturer. ANY. The odds of you running across them are next to zero.
Wix filter construction is about the best that there is. That is, there's not much to do "better". Where reinforced media is spec'd ..they have it ..where specific bypass valve settings are mandated, they have it, and where specific filtration spec's are mandated, they have it. Others may exceed them in filtration spec's ..but no in quality of construction spec's.
