As I have been given to understand it: Dot 3 causes the rubber to swell a tiny bit; no problem. Silicone causes the rubber to swell a tiny bit; no problem. BUT, when you change from one to the other, you get both types (?) of swelling, and then you have a problem.

Have heard of several cases of brake hoses swelling shut after a fluid type change.
