recombinantdna commented on the word presuppositionologist
I would tag this madeupical if I hadn't encountered it in a text book. Do not presuppose that I like or respect this text book to any extent, but I have to assume some brand of editor approved its publishing.

Presumably an error for presuppositionalist.

Not quite -- from what I can gather, presuppositionalists are concerned with the Christian faith, where as presuppositionologists constitute a subset of linguists, and are concerned specifically with presuppositions.

The linguistic term is also presuppositionalist. See, for example, Pragmatics by Levinson (1983).
Seems you had good reason not to respect said textbook.

Thanks, Mollusque. (this word is the least of my reasoning)
Any idea if there's a common tag for unwise morphological decisions?

Tags to classify morphological errors? A whole 'nother realm for OCSJTS!
The error here is epenthesis.

I'm not sure it was epenthesis -- I think it was coined from presupposition. The error was hubris.
