Yeah, Nicholas used to do that a lot in the past, usually in regards to those comedic joke challenges that nowadays would garner bonus points, but there hasn't been a single occasion recently where Nicholas has charged 'no points'.

If you haven't challenged, you can't withdraw your challenge.

the rest of your email seems to be about the problem where a light goes
and someone says they haven't challenged. Two possibilities there - a
technical problem with the buzzers or the panellist isn't telling the
truth. If it's a technical problem, it's a technical problem. If they
deny pressing the buzzer, they're saying they haven't challenged, so
they can't have the option of withdrawing it. Either way it isn't
resolved by a rule change.

Anyway there are plenty of occasions when Nicholas does say something
like "we'll charge no points there" after a challenge. Which seems to be
what you want... I think...
