"she should not have been able to conclude that he was an officer of the Student Council"

This part seems contradictory:

“Saying… it’s been a while would be strange. Are you the new student guide?”

“Ah, yes.”

“So as planned, you joined the Student Council.”

The student assigned the task of guiding new students wouldn’t be anyone other than a member of the student council. The Public Morals Committee members were also patrolling in order to police the grounds, and temporary officials were also making the rounds. Thus, she should not have been able to conclude that he was an officer of the Student Council just from his answer, but Tatsuya did not say anything to refute the happily giggling Mayumi at all. He had, in fact, joined the Student Council, and another matter had caught his attention.

The "should not have been able to conclude" has been edited to "should have been" and back. I think "should not have been" makes more sense in contect, but it DOES apparently contradict the part "wouldn't be anyone other than a member of the student council" - that would allow concluding that the guide would be a council member. Maybe the negation of THAT sentence is wrong?
