I thought I understood Oyster, but those remarks make no sense to
me. If someone is "always touching in and out", how they possibly
be charged more than the daily cap?

In a phrase "unresolved journeys". OSIs can accidentally create them.

Yes; eg you go from Greenwich to Charing Cross (with a change at
London Bridge), take your snaps of Nelson, then go into the
Underground for a trip to Kew Gardens. *Because Charing Cross is an
OSI, probably with a long timeout, the whole thing ends up as a single
journey which could go beyond the time limit, leaving you with an
unresolved journey and an unstarted journey at Kew, both of which are
charged at maximum. *Once you've got an unresolved journey (I'm pretty
sure) all capping goes out of the window.

No, that's not correct - whilst the 'unresolved' journey (i.e. the
problematic one that has 'timed-out') does not contribute towards the
cap, other journeys that are successfully resolved *do* contribute
towards the cap. And yes, I have experienced this first hand.
