I don't think so. The state of the old calipers and bleed nipples says a lot about how long the brakes have been neglected, so helps support the water-in-fluid theory.
You might find that you've started a bit of a jam-and-butter cycle on the brakes, though. If you're replacing the calipers, might as well replace the flexis. Which come as a set of four, so might as well fit the rears, in which case why not new cylinders too? Which only leaves the master as ancient... plus the clutch hydraulics. And then that'll all bring you into close contact with the crusty metal pipework...
It's always the same - a lack of regular maintenance might save a little bit of cost in the short term, but it saves up and adds into a huge bill and job all at once...
