If this is unwritten (I take this to mean a piece of culture people practice without ever formalizing), how would the judges deal with the novel scenario? That rule will not have existed until it starts being practiced.

It could even guess correctly. But I think what Chomsky means is that we have no valid scientific reason to believe that it would.
