Now I have a question, how do you inspect this without pulling it out? You don't, and the filter minder will actually read very good even after the filter is clogged.

You have a valid point.
However I wouldn't recommend that anyone continuously remove and inspect their air filter element over and over again to see if it's ruptured or damaged.
Every time a filter is disturbed you wind up with some dirt getting into the intake system.
The Manufacturers all recommend that a filter be left alone until its time for replacement, either when the restriction gauge shows it is necessary, or at a maximum interval of one year.
That's how I've always done it.
