The next paragraph does not explain why you think it's a problem, it instead offers a possible way that it may not be a genocide.

Any logical form of argument can be reduced to simple premises and conclusions.

I separate your argument into the simple premises and conclusions that make it up, and find out which ones are justified, and which ones are not. In cases of conclusions, I take the truth of the premises used to form it into account.

An argument is not valid if one of the premises are false, or if the conclusion doesn't logically follow from the premises. And you pretty much had just stated that there was no Genocide without justifying it.

"Undyne said Alphys was taking the monsters somewhere where Chara could never find them. Considering that we already know the Core contains the time/space portal that Gaster was shattered in, and that Alphys is an ace at dimensional tech, I think the reason that the No Mercy run isn't an actual Genocide is because Alphys evacuated them all to a different world beyond Chara's reach."

I did respond to this, saying Alphys was actually talking about FRISK. At this point in time, Frisk was the one killing everyone, so the obvious meaning is that Alphys is talking to FRISK.

Yes, you later (much later, may I add-NOT literally the next paragraph, but in fact near the end of the post) did finally attempt a justification, but by that point, you had already accepted the premise as true, and used that as an assumption.

And what was your reason? A literal Dog of the Gaps.

...Which, of course, I responded to as well. It was quite easy to do, considering that the origin of the term is already known. (The one who invented it made nazi jokes and named the fallen human "Hitler".)

So we already have a motive for Toby to contest it.
