Maybe so 

Remember, though that the rules are not just about ignorance 

There are other rules 
EG two brothers 
A ger 
Etc. 

The torah says don't appoint these as dayyanim nevertheless by concent
they can be appointed despite their "P'sul"

And they are not just doing pesharah or arbitration! They have authority
to "subpeona" etc.

[I'm not saying there is NO answer, I'm just not clear what the answer
would be]
