If it goes as far as a collision, yes, obviously. But there's a couple more BIG safe guards that have to fail before that happens. One, ATC has to miss it (in all cases the error was trapped here). 2, both crews would have to disregard their TCAS RAs before an actual midair went down.
I'm not advocating it's okay by any means, just simply implying that it's the lesser of the three scenarios IMO.
And no need for caps and exclamation points. My hearing is still good.
