Absolutely wrong. If you have to other traffic visually while you follow the RA great. But you always follow the RA (Exceptions: Terrain/stall warning)
The crew in question would have had a midair collision, had they followed the TCAS.
Please don't get me wrong, I've always followed TCAS RA's, but not blindly so. Doing so would be akin to blindly following a FD.
