Glad you looked
I'm glad you went ahead and fixed it the right way. The folks that say "the metal will go into the filter" just don't want to face the grim reality that there's a lot of work (and money) ahead to fix it the right way.
The ostrich approach to automotive repair isn't recommended; it just ends up costing you in the end. You would have ended up spinning a bearing, potentially destroying the crank, or worse... Glad you avoided that.
