At one point with paper tickets, there was a mention that you must
travel via a direct route. A Zone 2-1 single would be valid from
Ladbrooke Grove to Paddington, but wouldn't be valid on a journey from
Ladbrook grove - Waterloo, stay behind the barriers, then travel to
Paddington.

Why wouldn't it be valid? The entire trip as described is within the
zonal validity and while maybe a little odd it's not outside of the
rules. Some people take the most amazing routes between A and B via Z on
the LU network.
