It seems to me that (for well adjusted brakes) you are using the
hydraulics to transmit pressure, rather more than movement of a
quantity of fluid. Whereas on a clutch you actively pump a volume of
fluid through the connecting pipes to the slave. I know that there is
movement in both cases, but it is a matter of degree. And, for a
clutch, you want the least resistance in the process so the larger bore
pipe alows the fluid through easily.
I also wonder if it helps or hinders in the notorious clutch bleeding
process?
