Traditions develop because they serve a purpose; they work. Good traditions are ones that are still serving their purpose well, and whose purpose is good, beneficial and clear to everyone.
Bad traditions are ones whose usefulness has passed and which no longer serve any real purpose, except a sense of security to those who fear change.
I think it could be that iNtuitives, by definition, tend usually to look behind/through/between, into the abstract and are therefore more likely to notice when a tradition has become bad. I think they might also be more likely to actually correctly diagnose when something is being done purely out of tradition. (edit - cue ptgatsby 'anything you can do we can do better' rant lol)
But even those bad traditions can still serve a different purpose - the sense of unity/community/harmony shared between those who observe it, and connectedness/rootedness in the (presumably good) past; a sense of continuity. edit - but that can then become a bad thing when that sense of community is based solely or predominantly on the observance of the tradition, meaning that those who don't or can't observe it are excluded from or devalued by the community.
I've thought about this quite a lot because of Si being the major tradition-oriented function, being my inferior, in order to make peace with my inferior I've had to make peace with tradition. I actually value it very much nowadays, though I used to scoff at it and undermine it wherever I could.
