Will TCAS avoid colision in the middle of the Pacific?

Are there major disadvantages of TCAS that outweigh the advantages (besides the cost)? It wasn't the best solution at the time the FAA decided on it. It was a result of heavily political (i.e., graft) influence. Of course, the FAA has never had a sensible nor consistent story for automatic collision avoidance (see the TCAS vs. TIS vs. ADS-B debacle).
