[s-cars] Pressure bleeder question

I just got a Motive pressure bleeder.  Kind of looks like a garden
sprayer except the end of the hose has a cap that screws onto the top
of the brake fluid reservoir.

I was just wondering, if you go putting a lot of pressure into the
system from the top of the reservoir, isn't the weak link going to be
the friction fitting where the blue woven hose plugs into the clutch
master cylinder?  Can that fitting really take 15 or 30 lbs pressure
without blowing off?  Thoughts of spraying a pint of brake fluid all
over the inside of my car have me wondering....
