A large part of the misunderstanding is due to the name. Whoever chose 
the name "roofing" did a great disservice. A better name would simply be 
it's function:  1st I.F. filter.

That's what it is and that's what it does.

I have always thought that "roofing" was a marketing ploy to imbue it 
with some kind of magical powers.
