In all seriousness, when I made that comment about the 1/16th of an inch, I wasn't implying that you're going to die in a freak accdient, so don't worry.
What will likely happen though is you'll end up with premature wear in the brake pads, a faint, minor pull at most, maybe a little uneven war in the pads or on the rotor depending on a billion variables, and likely needing to replace the rubber hoses sooner rather than later.
It isn't life threatening, but it is my job to do everything by the book, because anything less is untested and unsafe. I don't get paid to half ass a job so that someone can die and my company can face a lawsuit. If I mess something up, it is my ass and comes out of my company to replace it.
Being a Diagnostic Specialist, its my job to be right about everything 110% of the time, and 75% of my work has to do with technicalities and specifics, and seriously "deep" thought.
Shadetree over there will tell you that there won't be an issue. I'll be able to hypothesize 75 different variables that could cause a problem all because of 1/16th of an inch of brakeline.
Its his job to get his hands dirty, its my job to find the problem, find out why that problem happened, and how to prevent that problem.
Sometimes, its my job to find the fault of a mechanic and people get fired because it. I can't help but do my job right to the best of my ability, and it pisses me off when some Shadetree nobody tells me I'm wrong in an industry where I'm well above him in on the totem.
