I've been called 'stupid' and 'lacking intelligence' on these thread because I challenged certain points of view.

I am neither, and, I believe, my concerns about some uses of the phrase 'the oral tradition' are not based on any lack of understanding of what that phrase means, but genuine concerns and questions about the way in which the phrase is used.

Thinking back to definitions of 'jargon': sometimes the phrase is used in a technical and, I believe, theoretical way; sometimes it is used out of pretentiousness; and sometimes it is used in a way that amounts to nonsense.

By the way, it appears that the term has different meanings in British English and American English, with pejorative meanings being more common in American English. This is based on Collins online dictionary.
