Wrong! Brake fluid is hygroscopic meaning over time it absorbs moisture. Under heavy braking the heat buildup can boil water in the brake lines into gas bubbles. As gasses can be further compressed in the line (unlike the brake fluid) the result is loss of effective stopping power when you need it most. In a high performance car that can ruin your day.
