Are unnecessary syllables used for error correction? Or are they mostly just noise?

Like the NATO Phonetic alphabet. Make everything two syllables, because it makes the correction of corrupted recordings less ambiguous.

Okay, thank you opposing council, ya got me. I should have said "make everything unambiguous, usually by using two or more syllables, and in a couple of instances where it was okay, one syllable."

In Russian, half the unnecessary syllables are just swallowed. Together with half the necessary ones. (Source: somebody who learned the language many years but never understood a native speaker speak)
