It's you that don't understand this. It is next to impossible to prove to the BBC licencing that you don't need a licence. Unless you take the receiver out of your tv (invalidating the warrant and making resale impossible) they will consider you guilty and take you to court. Even if you only watch catchup tv and thus don't need one. That is the problem.
So if you don't let them in to your house it is safer legally for the householder, as well as not having to let a stranger in to your house that has no legal right to come in.
