One of the tenets of PAYG is that you can take any route you like as
long as you touch in and out at either end, and TfL takes
responsibility for choosing the correct fare. If the system guesses
wrongly about which route you took, it's their problem, not yours.
Even using a pink validator doesn't bar you from zone 1 - the route is
defined as "A to B via pink validator C", not "A to B avoiding zone
1".

I think if someone was spotted getting off the Central line at
Stratford, going to the NLL platforms to touch the validator, before
returning to the Central line that would be considered deliberate fare
evasion.
