Reasons for denying Abhidhamma as

not a preaching of the Buddha
Unavailability of an inception story
Later amendment of the Kathvatthuppakaraa
Not assigning Abhidhamma to a particular group
after the first Buddhist council
Unavailability of the word Abhidhamma in the
Pancasatikkhandaka
Buddhaghosas effort of proving Abhidhamma as
a teaching of the Buddha.
