It's not enforceable, because the people in charge don't have any knowledge of whether I consulted an LLM while writing this comment.

You said it yourself - the enforceable policy is a a different, and much more reasonable policy. If the rule is "ultimately" something else, you can in fact just make that the rule. Or include a parenthetical explanation.

Rules are the ideal place for being pedantic and detailed! That's the whole point of rules - ultimately, the rule is the rule that was actually written down. Not anything else.

A rule doesn't have to be perfectly enforceable in order to serve a useful purpose. The rule assumes good intent on the participants, and it communicates what kind of behavior is welcome vs unwelcome. The submitter knows whether they used an LLM or not. If they want to lie about it, that's on them - I'm sure they can come up with whatever justification they want for that, but it's ultimately antisocial and gross behavior.
