BUT you're speculating the pads are worn.
Topping off may lead to forgetting........
you're speculating this guy is a moron.
Most brake pads squeal........
if you have aftermarket pads I speculate you would be smart enough to check them.

Just stick to the facts:
brake light comes on on corners= low brake fluid
=fill brake fluid.
Not rocket science- and I gave reasons why it's not a big deal.
Now if you want to create more scenarios to make yourself sound smart= you have a complex.
"Keep it simple stupid."
[edit]
There's a reason it's an idiot light and not a gauge - you don't just add fluid willy-nilly to make it go away. The light means check out the system and fix the problem, not fill it and forget it. There are scenarios where a pad won't squeal before bad things happen (e.g., broken tab, no tab, tab bent at installation, seized caliper, etc.), as noted by dousan. Again - a light means investigate not avoid. Now James, for the THIRD time, I ask you to go back and read my first post that mentioned two/2/II reasons fluid would be low and not more - if it isn't the pads, it is a worse problem of a leak.
