Hi,
Is the the Tripitaka the infallible word of the Buddha?

Absolutely and unequivocably not.

The entire "pitaka" of "abihidhamma" is later papanca, for instance.

The words of the Buddha are the words of the Buddha. Many are to be found in portions of the Nikayas, but everything in the Nikayas did not drop from the Buddha's lips. Not by a long stretch.
