No, it does not, and you are welcome to research Pascal's law to learn why. Turns out the French haven't always been useless pieces of shit... fancy that. BTW, it has not been recommended by a specialist, it has recommended by an idiot masquerading as a specialist, which is very prevalent in the motor trade in New Zealand so be aware. Be a man, name this person, we all want to know who this specialist is.

BTW, over the guard is banned by some racing associations, so you see twin lines on race bikes. It's odd to find braided lines without a plastic coating, so any cooling effect would be negligible.

You know what they say about remaining silent and being thought an idiot......?

this was totally worth posting.

The plastic coating protects the bike and most importantly the line if it rubs.

Two from the master, one into two (like most stock) or a single with a flip over the guard makes no difference to the brake pressure or performance.

The double line set from the master (or 'race' line) is often slightly cheaper.

Who is the specialist and what is the theory behind it?

Doug Hayes! Now retired i believe.
Theory... 1/ Direct lines provide better balance of pressure thus better feel.
2/ Easier to bleed and again no softness in feel.
3/Less pressure required for more braking.
As long as Master Cylinder and Calliper all matched correctly.
The actuals involved are minimal for some parts but for extreme top end, this was recommended.

Wouldn't be saying that 1 split line isn't adequate but 2 is even better.
When i did mine under this recommendation it was certainly a lot better.
