Incorrect and misinformation unless you are using some cheap Chinese braided steel brake lines.
If you utilize steel braided brake lines that meet the DOT FMVSS-571.106 requirements, there should not be any problems.
Russel and Goodridge sell steel braided lines that meet and exceed the specification.
For additional safety, go to a hydraulic shop that can crimp the ends.
