Yes, because we've seen that Sans transcends the reset timelines of Undertale and analyzes them from an outsider's perspective: "our reports showed a massive anomaly in the timespace continuum."

2: But Sans does have a SOUL Mode. Blue. Which is Papyrus' SOUL mode as well. Sans is the only boss with no unique SOUL Mode.

3: Papyrus says that he is SUPRISED that Sans isn't being lazy. Sans decided to step up his game. This certainly doesen't mean he's not usually lazy, on the contrary, it proves that he is. He's only workinng hard because he wants his brother to succeed. That's the only thing he's ever wanted. Sans has always worked harder than Papyrus has known. What about the True Pacifist Ending, where Papyrus runs off and Sans follows him to keep him out of trouble?

4: Papyrus and Sans are not the same person. Besides, Pap is naiive, and doesen't even realize that you've been killing people. He dosen't regognize the dust as a sign that you're a murderer, just like a human child might not regognize blood. See my above discussion with GetYourFix to understand why I compared Sans to Papyrus. As for Papyrus' alleged naivete, why does he immediately conclude that Frisk is heading "down a dangerous path?"
