Explain how a journey with a travelcard within the zones covered by

You are obviously one of the many people who believe that the purpose
of Oyster is to make it easier to enforce the rules of Oyster.
I do not see what your point is, or why you have become so defensive.
The Conditions of Carriage are very clear, and I won't repeat them.
People who for some reason do not want to obey those conditions must
have a reason for not obeying them. I do not know what that reason is,
but I have my own opinion, which I will keep to myself.
Because, having paid GBP1000 to TfL for the privilege of travelling
throughout London, I'd like to do so with the minimum of hassle. So,
when making a journey that I've already paid for, I don't see any
reason why I should subject myself to the extra inconvenience of
searching for the Oyster readers and touching in, given that doing so
will make no different to TfL's revenues or to my costs.
That's my "reason for not obeying them". What's your suggestion?
