Paul's reference is simply to "traditions." He doesn't specify which.Paul tells us to hold true to the faith handed down "tradition we told youby word of mouth and letter". And that tradition is visible in ignatius to the smyrneans as a eucharist of the real flesh.
So then people come along later, seize upon that word as if it were a blank check, and fill in with new and specific "traditions" of their choosing in order to justify doctrines that have no scriptural basis.
