In the rabbinic regime there is no independent biblical teaching. Even the biblical teachings are subject to what rabbinic authority says it says. The problem was not that rabbinic authority took too much on its own shoulders; the problem was that rabbinic authority did not do a good enough job when they transfered that authority from the biblical locus to the rabbinic.
Those who were responsible for the collapse of the biblical regime because they didn't really understand what the biblical regime was driving at became the architects of what replaced that biblical regime. Small wonder the rabbinic authorities have done such a poor job in preserving the true biblical teachings.
