On the rigour and under-appreciation of the Abhidhamma

I never said anything like “the commentaries claim the Abhidhamma was taught first.”

I spoke only of the suttas.

I’m not sure what you’re referring to.

I am responding only your statement of,

@gregk

the abhidhamma seems to have not been taught by the Buddha in his lifetime.

See this post for substantiation on why that statement is perhaps misguided.
