Wrong. You should only touch the ones specified by TfL in the Single
Fare Finder.

I am aware of an instance where people touched every pink validator on
their route and one was ignored and the people were charged as if
travelling via Zone 1.

Well, if they had only touched the one that was ignored the same outcome
would have resulted. The critical requirement is to check that the touch was
acknowledged, for every touch.
