No, not on that level of course. Nevertheless, he seems to be a monk of some distinction -- according to the sutta, he shows up at the Council with 500 bhikkhus.

Which isn't that many, considering.

The Cullavagga doesn't provide any specifics about the Venerable's objections, so we can't conclude they necessarily had to do with how the scriptures were organized (he actually says the recitation was "well sung"). We don't really know anything beyond the fact that he withheld his full endorsement, for whatever reason. Then why did you claim it was over the teachings?
