It's not a question of "take your word for it". You have a valid
ticket for where the ticket inspector found you. If you had a paper
ticket from Maryland to Liverpool Street, wouldn't the same question
arise?

I suppose. I just found it strange that the station lacks an Oyster card
reader, when every other station I've been to in Zones 1–3 has one.
