No I don't think the red is like that at all. It's not necessary to have any evidence to give a red truth. Lambda said that herself in red. It's just a proclamation and it requires no evidence to say. That's why Knox's 2nd is used forbid it as a clue.
The gold truth however is a human proof and it requires some sort of evidence or human knowledge to say. It's a subjective proof and is not absolute truth at all. Or it's just a bluff, but I don't really like that idea.
Ryukishi also said the golden truth is like a finishing move in a fighting game, which was a metaphor I used myself once before he said that. It's bad in certain situation and better in others. I think it's strongest when it's trapped in red and blue (since there is more information built up then) and weak when only red is used. It's best save as a last minute move.
