TCAS Inop is Not TCAS Fail

Capitan Flame: "When the system compares ADR data and sense one is going astray, it disregards and eliminates that source and only uses the 2 remaining."

So why wasn't there an ADR Fault transmitted at 0210, if that were the source of the TCAS Fault as you say?

There has been no rational symptom of Altitude Fault shown in all these pages. All the ACARS reported faults downstream of the ADR are traceable to Airspeed Fault, save for the TCAS. Indeed, in the prior incidents, airspeed indication was lost or faulted, with no mention of altitude indication fail or disagree.
