Don't forget that just because a character says it, itdoesn't mean that thing is infalibly true. Undertale characters can be just as confused as we are.

Alyphs assumed, because all the Fallen Down monsters around her horribly turned into mush as she watched, that this is the effect Determination must have on ALL monsters. And she theorized that monster physicality couldn't support high levels of Determination. And yet.. Undyne turned out just fine from her experience with Determination. Alyph's theory of how Determination affected monsters was wrong, because her test subjects were not typical monsters at all, their souls had already been removed. Which is why they seemed dead at first, yet refused to turn to dust.

Asriel at the end of the game believed he no longer had a soul, just like how Flowey spent the entire game believing he no longer had a soul. But Chara's soul was in him the whole time. And for all his talk about quickly fading, Asriel was able to haul himself all the way to the beginning of the game again.. and seems unchanged when we go back to talk to him.

Asriel doesn't know everything either. He's figuring it out as he goes along, just like we are.

Why doesn't Undertale let us see the keys on our keychain? If we could.. we would have realized that the key to Sans' door was on our keychain from the very beginning. Frisk simply never thought to look. Why would it be there?

Assumptions are dangerous things.
