The meaning of the aviation wisdom "better red than dead"

Вопрос, который задают на SELCAL - Could you explain the meaning of the aviation wisdom "better red than dead"?

А вот вариант ответа на него:

It means that we should not hesitate to ask ATC to repeat some information. There are different accents and dialects, so controller's instructions can be unreadable or readable with difficulties. There can be distortions, noise, any interference. There are many reasons not to understand what ATC said. However pilot's duty is to provide safety, passengers' life is our priority, we are responsible for them and safety comes first. So, we should not hesitate to do anything for safety reasons.
