If it's just the latter, then that's some sleight of hand - if anyone
reading this is in a position to ask the TfL press bods for
clarification on this matter then that'd be good. (And on the
associated 300 figure for Anytime/peak z2-6 sales.)

I see someone's taken a similar question to TfL's FoI people:

Good stuff - so hopefully it'll come out eventually - but what's really
needed now is for Assembly members to effectively press this question next
week whilst it's all still live (and indeed related questions w.r.t.
Anytime/peak capping for zones 1-3 and 1-5).

To do so, they need to properly get their heads around it (it's not really
very complicated), so they're not subsequently fobbed off by any
misdirection such as references to (printed paper) Day Travelcards when the
question related to Oyster PAYG caps. (Yes the two things are linked -
that's the point, they need to ensure that any answers from TfL don't just
refer to one of them, i.e. Day Travelcards - rather, they should get TfL to
provide distinct figures for both of them, i.e. Day Travelcards *and* PAYG
capping, but provide them at the same time, in the same answer.)

One can imagine that at MQT Boris will either not understand it himself, or
perhaps rather more to the point make out he doesn't quite understand it,
and by implication suggest that it's all a very arcane and obscure matter
pertaining to complex fares tables - but it's actually pretty simple, so he
shouldn't just be allowed to sit there scratching his head looking clueless.
