Can the court order you to do something you don't know how?

If you can show these people would know how to do it, then it must be common enough knowledge that the courts could find someone else.

If it is highly specialized knowledge that only these people might even know, then you can't prove that they do know how to do it.

Either way, you can't justify forcing them to do it. And it is if we are even fine with slavery to begin with, which I'm not.
