The Oral Explains The Written Without an oral law, even the text of the written Torah becomes frought with problems The most outrageous example I have seen is using the Shema to prove that there are many gods: "Hear O Israel, [the one called] HaShem is our g-d, HaShem is [number] one [among the gods]". Could the Hebrew sentence be read and interpreted that way? Sure. Is that the intent? Most decidedly not, yet without an oral law, it becomes a possibility.
