Everyone says this, but it's not true for the newer filters which use electrostatic attraction to filter the smaller particles. A dirty filter (do you know how many people don't ever change their filter?) will put far more load on a blower than a better filter. A MERV11 is significantly less effective, and wouldn't affect dust production anyway since it is created mostly by your skin, clothing fibers, etc. During the California wildfires I bought several air sensors and placed them around my house and experimented with different filters. a MERV16 with a carbon layer reduced VOCs, PM2.5, etc all down to extremely low levels in every room.
