...Shoshanna, I think you should realise that Christians like Harold and I never consider the Oral Torah to have any authority, since Jesus rejected it as "human traditions" (Mark 7:6-8, in which he quoted Isaiah 29:13). We don't expect you to consider the New Testament authoritative, so please don't expect us to consider the Oral Torah authoritative.
Everything is sufficiently explained by Oral Torah, by all our Sages and Commentaries, there is no need for the theorizing you presented.
