I hate this attitude that if a rule or standard can’t be enforced perfectly, we shouldn’t strive for it.

This is the entire basis for the War on (some) Drugs. Guess what? Drugs won.

Power is nothing without enforceability, and purposely implementing rules or laws that can't be enforceable is a form of malice and discrimination through selective enforcement.

    I agree, we should absolutely toss out all those laws against murder because they can't be enforced perfectly or equitably.

    In terms of murder, not every person is caught. But, enough of them are to deter the crime.

    In terms of "no AI" enforcement, it's not even a matter of perfection. It's not possible to enforce except for the dumbest attempts, especially without also using AI to detect it. And if that enforcement comes about, then the evasion starts, and it's hidden even further.
