It is age that deteriorates the hoses rubber compound. They then resrict inside, cutting down flow. They actually restrict way before they get to the point of not allowing you to bleed . The first sign is you will have brakes when you push the pedal, but the calipers do not fully return because there is only residual pressure for the fluid return..you may not notice this at first, but the brakes heat up and the pads wear prematurely.
As said, if the hoses are old, change them all and save yourself a lot of trouble.
