No, because it's fundamental within the religion that you must know both the Oral and Written Laws and not just one or the other.
Yeah but the flaw with anything that is transferred by word of mouth is that it changes a lot. Ever did that one thing in school where someone would whisper something in someones ear, it would go down a chain of people and by the end of the chain you'd have something completely different come out? Well this works the same way.

I don't believe for a second that after hundreds of years the oral law is still exactly the same as it was originally told to the very first person. Nor do I believe that anyone practicing that religion tells the oral law exactly the same. As a form of rules, it's flawed by default.
