I mean the inclusion of such writings as the "abhidhamma pitaka" as part of the "Canon", as if they were also the teachings of the Buddha. Yes i think it was in Pali, but I see its inclusion as "canonical" as arbitrary.
Ah. Gotcha. I feel the same way about the Dhammapada, to be honest. Not that there's anything wrong with it. It just seems to belong to a different genre of literature to me. Dunno. No skin off my teeth, anyway. =}
