Well stated, I have read on this thread several references to pleated paper is superior to anything else. The problem is the pleated paper filters sold by some Model A Ford parts suppliers do not have the flow capacity for a Model A 200.5 cubic inch displacement running at operational RPM. The result is the vehicle runs rich. So the statement by itself that pleated paper is superior has no merit unless it is qualified with additional information such as size, manufacturer etc.
