Judge Brake Pad Thickness by Fluid Level?

Given that I'm lazy and have little impetus to pull my wheels and check my brake pad thickness, is this feasible? When I swapped my stock pads for the carbotechs,

Default Judge Brake Pad Thickness by Fluid Level?

Given that I'm lazy and have little impetus to pull my wheels and check my brake pad thickness, is this feasible?

When I swapped my stock pads for the carbotechs, I noticed I had to remove fluid from the reservoir when I pushed the pistons back in. Along those lines, the carbotech pads have more material on them and I had the brake fluid reservoir at the FULL line when I installed them. Given that it's still on the FULL line, is it safe to assume I still have the majority of my pads left?
