Randall, this seems to conflict with what I have heard on other  lists.  
While DOT 5 is not water soluble, and will not absorb water like  the other 
fluids, any water that accumulates in the MC and makes it's way to the  brake 
lines 
can linger there a separate bubbles of water and rust the components  from the 
inside out.
 
Is there evidence to the contrary that I have missed?
