Just 'cos you don't follow the RA, doesn't mean the other bloke won't either. Could cause all sorts of problems. Always follow a TCAS RA unless it's blatantly obvious that it's wrong. The DHL accident mentioned above involved one of the aircraft obeying ATC rather than the RA.

Regulations and ops manuals have been changed as a result.
