Its an extra preliminary step before stock systems to remove more random particles that's not gasoline.
Dunno why that's so hard to get.

Well thanks for trying at least. Consider this, then,
#1 there is a hose connecting the valvecover directly to the intake manifold. Regardless of whether you have a catch can or not, the engine has direct access to the valvecover, and all of it's "particulate, crap, debris, oil, carbon, water, etc..."
#2 anything particulate based in the engine oil is filtered out by the oil filter (that's its job). Anything else found particulate based in engine oil, by definition, could not "condense" since it is a solid and stays that way.
Furthermore, anything particulate based in the engine oil, is fully distributed to ALL of the engine oil evenly. Particulate does not concentrate in one specific place, right next to the valvecover exit point leading to the catch can, that would be against the laws of physics.
