I was an Air Force Pilot. I you are flying along, nice and comfortable, and you hear "Break XXXX!" Not knowing which way is the "best way" it is better to turn in the wrong direction than to continue going straight ahead. Maintaining course, you are guaranteed to get shot down. Breaking in the "correct" direction has a better chance of success, than breaking in the "wrong" direction, but the odds are that breaking in the wrong direction is better than not turning at all.
