The whole system is a farce.

I think that's an exaggeration. But I do agree that if you touch in
then out again very quickly at the same station such that you couldn't
possibly have made a journey (within, say, 10 minutes), that it should
be free.

That could result in people entering, then touching the exit gate and
not going through to get free entry to the system.

They still have to get out again. And if they touch their oyster on an
exit gate they'll get stiffed for the maximum fare. Unless they vault over
the gates of course but those sorts of people wouldn't pay anyway.
