Thanks I found the referance. I would still play the odds in my favour and follow the RA. After all. If ATC is giving you an immediate descent due to traffic they are showing here that they probably have already made an error of some sort. A big reason for TCAS is to prevent a collision due to ATC error.
Follow the RA. I don't think many of us on a line check will get top marks for saying we wouldn't(not counting an overriding stall or GPWS warning at the same time).
