My argument is that these devices COULD prevent a collision but
cannot be relied on to ENSURE it does not happen, that is up to the pilots.
How many examples are there out there of aircraft colliding when
fitted with such devices, in these cases killing 10s of people.
Precisely.
There have also been collisions in radar controlled airspace between
TCAS equipped aircraft and also before TCAS.
Nothing is perfect but the ground has a 100% success rate against aircraft.
