TCAS is designed to work according manufacturer manual, it is stipulated here that pilots have to follow orders to escape, so why argue with that and prefer to follow ATC orders?
Maybe those guys need to have a good Sim session to understand by doing it wrong to be able to learn something?

The obvious answer is, of course, that most of those "saves" would not have resulted in collisions, despite what their pilots thought or think.
I saw the conflicting aircraft (a Beech Baron) at the last minute (sun in the back) during the escape manoeuver, he was very close and was flying opposite course at the same altitude (controller error) and I can tell you that the controller went by himself to meet us after landing, he told us that he saw nothing and as such gave us no instructions. Off course we followed the TCAS but I can not tell you what the other pilot did...
