Yes. So in economy if you book an 15 year old as an adult on RFS then BA I think will end up paying the APD when actually it's not due. I'm not 100% but I really don't think BA systems are sophisticated enough to pick this up at any point and you haven't gained any advantage doing it.

Why does BA even have this young adult option? The age range doesn't match up to when a teenager can fly alone
