All those hoses are out's, not in's. that's why the valve covers and cranks vents are hooked up to two different vacuum sources. They are always pulling pressurized air out if the block and valve covers. Only at WOT does the crank case vents get blocked off when the PCV gets pushed closed. But the valve cover vents are always getting air sucked out no matter If you're at idle, wot NA or TT.

Hate to tell you this, but you're wrong.
Our cars don't have a true PCV system apparently, it runs in a vacuum, or at the bare minimum, it is vacuum assisted when at low RPM. At any rate there is definitely an IN and an OUT.
They suck metered (and filtered) air from the intake tube through the crankcase and out the outlet to the intake manifold.
Poorly made diagram attached.
RED: Filtered air into crankcase
GREEN: Air from PCV valve to can
BLUE: Air from catch can to intake manifold (vacuum line)
