Certainly based on this post, “sola scriptura” seems a more reasonable stance than I had previously perceived.

Especially since, without using the words, the article affirms a common-sense understanding that authority must rest on Scripture, Tradition, and the Magisterium.

For it is tradition (founded on the Reformers) which teaches sola scriptura, Scripture not claiming it for itself and radically not able to claim it. And it is the magisterium which now is needed to access tradition to explain the teaching, lest we, who simply hear the slogan, misinterpret.
