General brake question

I had issues once a long time ago getting fluid to the rear brakes on a car we had on the shop. I kept going up the system from the rear until I got to a brass junction block about mid ways up the frame. Get this. There was a small pebble stuck in the double flare opening of the rear line where it screwed into that brass block. Simple procedure. Just go up the system until you find pressure and you'll find the problem.
wild. you think that was a chonk of some detritus that broke off from inside upline somewheres? or a foreign object introduced to the system during a fluid top up or something?
