DY -Go back and look again, but the main Gemorrah explaining it is Mem Daled. The gemorah on Kuf Aleph had a problem with numbers because we have this posuk that if you add it up -it equals 7, but the Rabbonim hold 3. So the gemorrah answers we need it to teach you that you have to give the guy a good Eitzah (advice) (on whom to marry -same age or older or younger), so now that the posuk which R’ Yehudah uses to add 4 more to the Bais Din, the Rabbonim use it for something else, so they don’t have to add 4 more to the Bais Din. So now the Rabbonim could hold 3 on the B.D.

Enough with Talmud 101!
