The question mark "implied" nothing; it directly indicated that I was asking

And if the conditions in my question were "true", you would not need to fly
an offset on a GPS course, despite GPS improved accuracy, any more than you
would need to fly an offset on a VOR course; traffic avoidance would be
handled by ATC.


OK, say I'm on an IFR flight plan, VMC prevails, in Class E airspace
at 6000 feet, in VMC. A non-transponder/radio equipped aircraft is
climbing from an airport, crossing my path up to their desired cruise
altitude of 6500 feet. Might I ask how ATC would provide me traffic
avoidance in that instance?
