I don't think that necessarily follows, ZC. Maybe you can explain why you think it does.
If the Oral Tradition can be trusted with preserving the vowels and punctuation of the Bible, it can be trusted with its interpretation as well

The Torah Tradition not only preserves intact and correctly the vowels and punctuation (else we have nothing but a string of over three hundred thousand consonants) but also the precise rules and regulations for correctly copying out and writing the Biblical text. If the same Tradition doesn't know what the Bible means, then no one does.
And I didn't mean to imply you were an atheist, kosta. I just hope you either are at peace, or else find peace.
