Look back at the thread and you'll see I was responding to TDK's

Get an Oyster card and you can start saving when you do.

That's not the case for the type of journey I most commonly take into
London, for which Oyster would be a singularly bad option.

And I was responding to *your* statement that "Oyster is not a sensible
option for those who use National Rail and who don't have to commute
daily." It may not be an optimum choice for your particular journey, but
that does not mean it is unsuitable for everyone encompassed by "those
who use National Rail and who don't have to commute daily."
