Default LOL HMT "braided" brake lines??

Has anyone seen this done before? Would it actually work? And would all those zip ties be cheaper than actual stainless braided lines? Was looking for pics on how/where to cut struts to install Koni inserts, and found this at an MX6 website...

I don't think that rocks hitting the lines will do anything, and anything sharp enough to puncture brake lines won't be held for long by some zip ties.

I, nor did anyone else, say that those lines were stainless. I was just wondering if the rigid plastic zipties actually did anything for bulging stock rubber lines, and if it was cheaper than going with actual stainless braided ones..
