"Now, because soul power is determination, all of the humans should have had more or less the same amount of DT, since they're being used as a SP metric. More than that, all of them had the same SLR ability that Frisk did."

Except that goes against the one rule of S/L/R. And there's a couple flaws here: first, if DT = SOUL Power, then the six human souls should have vanished immediately after it was extracted. Second, all humans naturally have the amount of DT that allows them to persist after death, so anything beyond that would be the extra amount that's both determined by, and factored into determining, your SOUL trait.

You could just as easily say that Bravery is SP, or that Paitience is SP, and it would make about as much sense as DT being SP. Because those are PARTS of the SOUL, parts! To say one is SP would be to say that all are SP, and that just leads to the only other thing SP could be: the power of the SOUL as a WHOLE.
