But it would just be so much simpler to eliminate this totally useless
requirement.

I completely agree that's a great goal, and I want to see this
changed, but much harder to achieve since it seems to involve getting
the IGC to change their position on this.

In the meantime doing a quick fix in the SSA kit may help save some
frustration like described in this thread. The summary guide should
also have a banner/note across the top advising to always do a paper
declaration. And again, maybe more than a quick fix I think the SSA
should not be publishing extensive rule summies (there are folks
posting in this thread who seem to think this summary has some rule
setting ability over the actual sporting code for SSS adjudicated
badges) but pointing pilots only to the sporting code docs. Much
better to capture the common reasons for problems in a doc/checklist.
