Didn't someone, some time ago (a few years ago perhaps?), try to suggest
in uk.railway that the reason that the Paris Metro had a higher rate of
fare evasion than the Berlin U-Bahn was entirely due to the Paris Metro
having ticket barriers?
I can't recall that, but the gating of the Paris Metro did
apparantly not result in a _lower_ rate of fare dodging than Berlin,
where the network is open accessible (and therefore operated with
lower cost).

But how did the rates of fare evasion compare *before* the gating of the
Paris Metro? Also, did the rate of fare evasion on the Paris Metro
change after the gating and if so in which direction?
