Michael is reading too much into NCoC 16. It makes three separate
statements:
(1) There exist tickets that don't allow stopping short/starting late.
(2) All such tickets also prohibit Break of Journey.
(3) It will be made clear if you have such a ticket.
I'm not commenting on (3) with respect to Megatrain, but statement (2)
is *not* what Michael says it is. In particular, there are tickets where
BoJ is forbidden but stopping short or starting late is not.
The important bit of (2) is actually its contrapositive:
(2') All tickets that allow Break of Journey also allow stopping short
or starting late.
