I'm hardly a military basher but in this case the civilian pilot did try

Yea, it would seem that the only see-and-avoid you can fault the
civilian pilot with is not having the capability to out perform the
F-16 as he tried to escape the collision alert.

I fail to see how a 90-degree clearing turn would not have brought the
threat into view and provided an escape to resolve the TCAS warning.
