Yes, but I didn't try to point that out.

What I wanted to imply, is that when Flowey wanted to kill himself, his survival instinct kicked in, and did an automatic load. Now, Flowey probably tried some "easy" way, like jumping off cliffs or overdosing on something poisonous. They are "easy", because you only have to push yourself over a point from where everything resolves. No matter if you have second thoughts, they can't prevent you from going through, because you prevented it by losing pretty much all control.

Eating buttercups is jumping off cliffs that are too small to kill you, until you finally die from repeated injuries, or more closely, overdosing on something, that is painful to take, so you have to override your survival instinct for a prolonged period. Chara did that, so it should be possible that they could override the auto-load feature.
