I think you're right. One of the challenges to face is that tradition can be Tradition that has lost its heart and soul, the prompting of the Spirit. I think this is exactly the situation that Jesus was facing. Not only was there the problem that "traditions of men" had been added on top, but that the higher principles of the Law that inspired the Mosaic rules had been supplanted by those rules themselves.
There's a line from Green Day's new album that I think applies: She's a rebel / she's a saint / she's the salt of the earth and she's dangerous The nature of Christ's message is radical. We should worry when it becomes mundane in "the current times."
