Oil Pickup

I've been following this oil sludge/pickup screen plugging "issue" for a while now. Here is my suggestion/inquiry, why not make the screen coarser like it was for the classic 900? On those engines the screens varied from a very coarse screen to a perforated sheet metal for the twin cam engines. And I never heard anything about oil pump damage stories nor experienced it myself. If sludge is formed it would have a much tougher time plugging the screen if the screen had larger openings.
What would be the best way to have larger openings...perhaps just using an ice pick or an awl would do the trick...or removing the existing screen and tack welding a perforated piece of sheetmetal ~1 mm thick or more.
Any thoughts, comments, reactions?
Anyone know why the screen is so fine? Does it have anything to do with drainback of the oil?
