That ranks as one of the most ridiculous posts I've read in a long long time.

TCAS is far from being the last line of defence from collision. It operates at huge distances, usually pre visual.

If TCAS fails there is still the old fashioned version called "eyes"
It has worked surprisingly well for a really long time.
