They do not point to Rabbanical decrees at any time.

In fact, to my knowledge, every_single_instance of departure is a rail AGAINST the traditions and decrees of the rabbis. Never (that I can think of) is there an instance of correction against the Word of God or the clear interpretation thereof. It is the 'added to and the taken away' that are always on point. And that is done, always, by tradition.

I think you’ve set up a straw man. I never said that Scripture has instances of correction “against the Word of God” and I never said that there are scriptural instances of correction of “clear interpretations” thereof. What I said was that there is no Scriptural basis for claiming that scripture is always easy to understand. There are MANY instances of correction against the COMMON understanding — a common understanding that also happens to be wrong. Furthermore, to read Scripture in a purely literal way is to get it wrong, in many instances. “Literal” does not always equal “Correct” does not always equal “Clear”.
