"It isn't illegal to replace odometers and it isn't even illegal to sell vehicles with odometers that have inaccurate mileage readouts. However, to do so, a disclaimer needs to be made by the seller, indicating to the buyer that its mileage readout is inaccurate and that the odometer was replaced."

How is it even legal? "You can lie but you have to admit to it".

The alternative would be a broken odometer is a totaled car, right? That wouldn't make much sense

One alternative is to require that the new odometer is wound forward to match the old odometer's value. But I'm not sure if odometers have this capability.

Even if they do that would require you catch the error fairly quickly. I'm not sure how long it would take me to realize my odometer was broken, honestly.

You can use the speedometer check zones on the Interstates to check this, Just note the value at the zero sign and when you pass the last sign note the value again and do the math.

I believe the comment that you're replying to might mean that they wouldn't notice if their odometer was totally broken and didn't increase at all. I am the same. I assume the mechanics would notice when the yearly inspection showed the same odometer reading as the previous year.
