Maybe or maybe not - but it appears that various different variations 
of observance/non-observance fell by the wayside and do not exist 
today, and that one basic constant remained throughout, and it was 
Oral Torah that kept it.

Jerusalem used another and the guys in Samaria still another.  Judaism
wasn't, and has never been, and is not now, a monolith.
