Given that it links to levers, I'd assume it randomly activates danger rooms and stuff.

You'll have to provide warm, moist kittens at the end of each test chamber.

So yes. Could be useful.

Seeing as dwarves can path through such shallow water, can the pressure plate be messed with after the pond's filled?

Also, if I fill the pond with 12 units of water for example, will that make things trigger more often, less often, or such?

Giant badgers are cruel saddistic balls of fur and hate. Did anyone know they could paint a wall with a single dwarven baby?.... You know what, I made the Giant badgers sound like sane DF players.

No  :)

it will not work. Needs one cell with 3 units water. This cell will move randomly and accidentally press on a plate.
If more 3 cells then pressure plate will not have time to react.
