I don't care about who's right and wrong here. But what you used before E85 could very well explain why you had filter degradation while other people running E85 for thousands of miles aren't having this problem.
All it would take is some Toulene to eat through a paper filter.

Most of the top-shelf filters use a metal or plastic screen to catch debris. Another issue with the filters can be the O-ring style fittings. Some O-rings not designed to work with alcohol will dry out.

You can believe a bunch of grease monkeys using conventional wisdom. Or you can believe chemists who know what they're doing.
