What would happen if I removed the TB oil line, and just put a breather on Valve Cover?

I took it out of the TB and put one of those clear fuel filters in the line and laid it on the intake and plugged the intake hole with a rubber vacuum cap. Works OK and no more oil in the intake.
Some say it is unmeasured air which I can see but it doesn't seem to bother the running. I'm not going for a fuel mileage record.

Injuneer has explained many, many times what happens when you put a breather on the valve cover as this question is asked a lot.

Oh yeah, now I remember reading those threads.... liek 99.9% of the threads on here it turned into a 12 page circus and I think I just ended up more confused at the end of the thread.
