      If you lean towards descriptivism, it would be extremely strange to tell another group that their word with citable usage isn’t real.

      If you lean towards prescriptivism, then Merriam-Webster is literally the dictionary.

      Brian doesn’t have a leg to stand on for either side.

      Except precedented is definitely a word that is used, particularly in the legal field, so the dictionary would definitely win that argument.

        A couple of decades in the future the addition of “Presidented” to American English (verb: to arbitrarily make a declaration or issue an order, implicitly illegally) will really confuse things
