Yes, it seems this fear of aborting a genocide run by whiffing the attack was spread by a youtube video of Mettaton Neo that checked him and spared him before doing a weak attack. The dialogue says that the player "held back", but it can only be assumed that they failed the Mettaton fight because they failed to clear Hotland first. I haven't seen anyone duplicate this when they have cleared Hotland, so it's just a false rumor.
