I like that you explicitly pointed out that flying into a mountain is not the recommended course of action for pilots.
Humor aside, this crash also includes a lot of broken down communication, so in most cases, even if TCAS fails, a crash is not inevitable. A pilot aware of the priority TCAS has will definitely communicate a failure to abide by its orders.
