You bet.  That's why I don't recommend silicone brake fluid.  Its only real
advantage is that it does not hurt your paint.  Other than that, it is not worth
the hassle.  Good for parade cars.

Where did your expert get the idea that you need 20 PSI to bleed brakes?  2
PSI is probably adequate.  I use about 5.  Don't forget to test your setup dry
before you fill the bottle.  If you have a leak somewhere, you want to discover
it as an air leak, not a fluid leak.
