You are correct as to the cause of a "mushy" brake pedal. However, the
compressibility of water is a factor of interest to others than just
molecular biologists: naval architects, especially those designing
submersible craft, do have to account for it. I suspect there are
occasions when it might be of some minor interest to civil engineers, as well.
