They know who you are anyway, and if you use an unregistered Oyster card
all that they can tell is that *someone* generally takes particular
trains. They can't bind that to a name unless you give them your name
(which I haven't because my only use for my oyster is for rare
long-range tube journeys and times when it's raining so I can't walk).
