I think the best way to explain the situation is that these PARTICULAR Ferengi were criminals, and not very bright. They were, after all, robbing the ship and behaving like idiots. Just like we have stupid criminals on Earth, I'd kind of expect there to be stupid criminals of each species in a galaxy populated by a number of sentient races.
Of course, being that I saw that episode so long ago, maybe my explanation doesn't work; perhaps these Ferengi are on an official mission or something. But it's a shot, right? :)
