On an airway, you know that if you maintain a certain altitude, you won't hit

Obviously you don't really know how to read a Sectional and you have to
determine the minimum safe altitude from the Sectional whether you are on
or off of a Victor airway.

How many midair collisions have occurred along airways and at VORs thus far?


Enough that there have been several articles about the subject.

Let's be honest: The only reason you have a problem with flying along an
airway is that I suggested it.


Nope, the problem I have is you seeme to be convinced that using a Victor
airway has some magical properties that guarantee's safety.
