Well, considering some Catholics seem to believe that simply speaking something translates into “tradition”, it does relate.
oral transmission is not by default automatically tradition.

Somehow I don't think Athanasius would have had much luck using that argument against the Gnostics when he defended the Deity of Jesus Christ. While showing that a certain tenet was believed always, everywhere and by all is a strong argument for truth, we know that it's not the ONLY criteria.
