While that's true, I think that today, giving the recent rupture in
mesorah and the number of people not born in mesorah-bearing homes,
it's easier to build mesorah on the experience of doing mitzvos.

Kind of like "More than the Jews have kept the Shabbos, Shabbos has kept
the Jews."

It certainly seems true of effective kiruv techniques; a Shabbos or a
chavrusah in gemara have done more kiruv than all the philosophical
discussions combined.

Naaseh venishmah.

Tir'u baTov!
