You are still unable to give a plausible argument, supporting your assumption, that following TCAS induces the lowest risk. If this would be the case - ask your superiors to couple TCAS directly to your autopilot system.
As if I'm going to walk into my head office and ask for a system to be modified(however much that costs) when there almost certainly isn't any approved modifications available on the market for this. There is a big difference between theory and reality.

I want to remind you, that the argument in the lastest past was initated by you saying, that the Tu154 crews action were unrational. You have done little to support this allegation.
I'm not going to respond to this as there is nothing to add to what I have already said. Instead I will leave your theoretical world of obscure possibilities and make a real world statement to all who fly with TCAS and could very well end up in the same situation as the Tupolev or JAL crew. Both had their reasons for ignoring the RA. One crew killed many while the other crew almost did. So please do as you have been trained. Do what Eurocontrol and the FAA and all regulatory authorities consider to be a RATIONAL reaction in such a situation. That is FOLLOW THE RA in spite of what ATC says.
