We're supposed to enforce all rules -- not just the ones we agree with or that are easy to call.

You enforce it like you do every other rule. Call it when you see it. We don't see every runner leave early or every illegal pitch or every batter who makes contact with a foot outside the batter's box. But when we do see it, we call it.
