Is that including historical background? If so, they have to receive a biased view as to how things actually transpired, what causes economic problems, etc.

The only way for them to not receive a biased view would be to actually see and know everything, in which case they would be godlike entities and that just makes the Original Position as worthwhile as asking "What would Jesus do?"
