Hi,

Can't comment on your quote, but I can tell you why braided hoses are used in 'motorsport'.
In short, Under heavy braking, they cannot expand like rubber hoses, no exspansion means no spongy pedal, also stops brake pedal chatter if you have ABS.
I guess if you are a hard braking mo-fo or spend a lot of time on track then yes, they're an excellent idea (they also look schexxy).
