Look at it this way:

A judge ruled that the will was valid and that Shatananda COULD have been 
Shankaracharya according to SBS's wishes except that he wasn't qualified 
because he 
wasn't a Sanskrit scholar.

SBS obviously knew that Shatananda wasn't a Sanskrit scholar and yet he still 
put his name 
first on the will.

What is more important, in this case, a committee of scholars, who wanted a 
scholar, or 
the legally validated will of SBS?

If you agree with the scholars, then one guy was made Shankaracharya. If you 
agree with 
SBS, then another was made Shankaracharya.


It's that simple.

In case you're wondering if appointing an illiterate cook to be head of a 
monastary over 
the objections of all the scholars isn't traditional, look up the story of the 
6th (and possibly 
most important) Buddhist Patriarch:
