I think what that F16 pilot fails to understand is the consequence of his actions on the other aircraft and it's passengers.

He has already caused an unnecessary RA to a passenger carrying aircraft which resulted in injury and still hasn't learned.

What he also doesn't understand is that passenger carrying airliners have more than one pilot. If the pilot flying decides to ignore an RA, how does he/she confer with the other pilot on the flight deck that they are doing so to "increase safety" (unless it's obvious or SOP such as below 1000' RA).

The only way to defend ignoring an RA is that if following it would have jeopardised the safety of the aircraft. In F16's examples, that is clearly not the case.
