A fascinating article picking up on some discussions we've had about
tsbp:

Just to whet your appetite:
 
According to R. Zadok, reluctance to accept the Oral Law is not merely
avoidance of hard work; it reflects a religious value judgment.  The
Written Law model allows for tremendous clarity because receiving
guidance directly from the mouth of God removes ambiguities and doubt.
On such religious grounds, the people preferred accepting the Written
Law without the Oral Law.  Only in later history did they come to
understand that the human component of the Oral Law brings with it
certain advantages as well.
 
 
Me- I can't imagine someone today saying what R' Tzadok said without
being read the riot act.
