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.

Yes, in the old days of Go As You Please tickets (cardboard tix that
went through the turnstile slot) you could come outside to make a call
or be free to take the bus or walk should the Underground have broken
down. Now you have to debate whether the hassle of trying to get your
fare back is worth your time. Is there a suggestion box for oyster card
improvements? Changing your mind about taking a ride should certainly be
allowable.
