You are right. If you are using Oyster card to pay as you go and
your card is inspected while travelling on a train all they are going
to do is look for the record of you "touching in".

Good point. Until you touch out, they don't know where you're going.

I note the new fares leaflet has a note on Oyster capping on page 20:

*Some journeys have been defined as requiring
travel via Zone 1 and will be charged and
capped accordingly, irrespective of the actual
route taken.
