No-one said that it could hurt by changing early - just that it was wasting money.
It's like changing oil before you have to - gives you a warm fuzzy feeling but is wasting money.
The best advice comes from those that run fleets of vehicles - they are guided by the high cost of having a vehicle out of service versus the profit/loss statement at the end of the year.

That's what I was taught also. The dust coating actually improves the filtration and hinders the air flow.
Now, where is that perfect compromise!
