Retired BA/BY, the origin of TCAS was as the result of inadequate ATC leading to the Grand Canyon collision in the '50s. Another example was the Japanese near mid-air caused by ATC error. The Uberlingen tragedy was initiated by ATC error, but incorrect RA action by one of the crews resulted in the mid-air.

So don't be so rude and accusatory.
