Isn't that oversimplifying the process? If the Sanhedrin did not have
a Mesora on the issue, then they would have a debate until they all
(or at least a majority) agreed.

As Meforshim on the Mishna (Sanhedrin 11:2) explain:

Yodunu Bo kFi HaSevoros veHekeshos haTorios
ידונו בו כפי הסברות והיקשות התוריות הידועות אצלם עד שיסכימו כולם או
רובם שהדין כך

I would assume the debate took into account the Tartei d'Satrei
aspects. We're talking about The 71 Gedolim of the generation, after
all.
