I hate this attitude that if a rule or standard can't be enforced perfectly, we shouldn't strive for it. We can't (reasonably) run an OS free of proprietary software, does that mean the free software movement should just give up?

But they aren't impossible to enforce and you know that.
That's... the joke. The original proposition was that AI code bans can't be enforced, a thought which I was leading ad absurdum.
