No, he explicitly said they were non-canon. If they were canon, that would include the post that said they weren't, making them non-canon. If they're non-canon, we can ignore that post, and we don't get a paradox. The posts being non-canon is the only real possibility.

We've already debunked the reliability of the kickstarter-Temmie Chang was never credited, despite the fact that he made most of the art, and the kickstarter tells us we can have a robot husband, which is clearly false. It contains a video of Sans and Papyrus knowing about the US $, despite the fact that they're still underground in the entire scene-And I've already been through why the award ceremony isn't proof that Toby Fox isn't the Annoying Dog in Undertale.

While indirect "proof" (I just call it evidence or hints) trumps baseless assumptons, direct proof trumps indirect proof, and the dog paradox serves as direct proof, trumping your vague similarities here. And actually, Scott Cawthon is a much more plausible possibility than Toby, because he actually DID program an entire game-The WHOLE thing, all by himself. However, he too can be ruled out because it's meant to be accidental, though he's closer than Toby there too, because the idea for FNAF was actually accidental, a result of him deciding if critics say his kid-friendly game is too scary, that he should make a horror game. But while the IDEA was accidental, the game wasn't-It was never meant to be a hit though. There's plenty of indie designers out there, saying it MUST be Toby is a case of the Prosecutor's Fallacy. And before you say I'm using the Defense Attorney's Fallacy this way, do note there's no other reliable evidence to combine this with to prove it's Toby.

"The" means there's only one, or it refers to a specific one. "What's in the box?", refers to a SPECIFIC box that was already decided on earlier, that both parties know. "The" president is used because there's only ONE president right now. "A" implies there's more than one of the object being used, and/or that we don't know which one that's being spoken of, and in the case of the game, we don't know which game the line speaks of, and the dog very well could have made more than one game-The line only means that the dog made ONE game all by himself, it doesn't necessarily mean he made the game on the floor all by himself. Sure, the fact that it's narrated when we check said game implies it's said game, but we can't just jump to conclusions here. They may very well be two different games. And technically, the dog paradox is only a paradox if the game that was made accidentally was Undertale-If the box is that of Undertale, and the line speaks of another game, things actually work out just fine-Because now the dog could have created the universe without using a computer that's part of said universe, but instead, the way a deity would. The Japanese FAQ starts to make sense... (Though we don't know how reliable that is.) Technically, we have no proof the item is even a game, just that the dog made one. We have to be aware of these loopholes:Somtimes finding a loophole and using it is the only way to progress in our analysis. It may very well be that we're both right-That the box is Undertale, and the game that was made accidentally was another game.
