It's not a matter of Holy Tradition being superior to Scripture, rather Scripture is part of the Holy Tradition of The Church.

Please don't misrepresent what I said, that is a RC practice. I haven't encountered that from the EO before and hope that was an error. What I said was the EO accept their "tradition" (dress it up as you will) as an equal of Scripture. Accepting anything as an equal of Scripture as the rule of your faith will inevitably lead to heresy.

One thought as to why the EO did not have a Reformation is the influence of muslim domination. I agree that the refusal to accept the RC Pope as your supreme ruler is also a factor.

Indeed you did. I apologize. I assure you it was unintentional. But it isn't a matter of "equal" either. Scripture is part of Holy Tradition. Here's an article by a respected American Orthodox priest on the question. I find Fr. Serfes' writings to be accurate and succinct and especially accessible by Western readers. http://www.serfes.org/orthodox/scripturesinthechurch.htm
