Indeed, that is why I knew you would understand my meaning.




Indeed, traditions change. The difficult question, and I think what we are all trying to do here, is figure out when a tradition ceases to become a tradition and simple fade into history. In some cases, ethnohistorians might separate "tradition" and "current/modern tradition." Of course this is far too confusing, as that would imply that modern tradition is different from tradition based in the historical (but then, that is the thing of ethnohistorians).

The real question is whether a choice would blend in with the locals and demonstrate your knowledge of the particular shibboleths of the customs or whether the choice would single you out as somehow other than the norm. The hair-splitting academic nomenclature is not really as important as understanding the practical implications.
