I'm an ex FSO too, going back 25+ years. Small world. How things have changed. Flying since then, here and overseas.
TCAS has seen a number of revisions, it's quite sophisticated these days, yet dependent on crew reaction times for initiating response to a Resolution Advisory and subsequent modifications to the original TCAS instruction. Great gear.
One should always follow TCAS commands (with rare self-evident exceptions). It was always intended to be that way.
