Because she is stressed. You can even look back over the entries and see that the proper and lowercase entries map perfectly onto how well the experiments are going... My theory and it's arguments are on the first post. Everything after it is just me thinking of possibilities.

So, I will ask you, can you say for certain that Napstablook did NOT work in the True Lab? Yes.

1) There is no indication from the entries that there are multiple authors.

2) There is no indication from the entries or from any part of Alphys's dialogue about the expeiments that there was anyone working with her.

3) There is no indication that Napstablook was ever in the True Lab.

4) There is no indication that Napstablook has any interest in, much less aptitude for, science.

5) There is no indication that Napstablook ever worked on Mettaton's body, or is even aware that Mettaton is their cousin that left the farm.

6) There is no indication that Alphys or Napstablook know each other.

7) There is no indication that Napstablook knows anything about the Amalgamates or any of the determination experiments.

So in order for this theory to work, we would have to posit that despite the fact that there is no evidence whatsoever, nothing that we would expect to be true if Napstablook was working in the True Lab is ever mentioned, and that it flies in the face of everything we are already explicitly told, Napstablook is secretly a scientist who was secretly working in the True Lab and secretly working on Mettaton's body.

As for your pieces of evidence:

1) The ellipses are also used by...Alphys! Not to mention that the distinctive thing about Napstablook's use of ellipses is that they are exceedingly long (.............). No extremely long ellipses in the entries.

2) There is a cup shaped like a yellow lizard in Alphys's lab. There is never any cup in the shape of a ghost in the game.

3) Alphys specifically spends a lot of her time in the Garbage Dump, as you can find a DVD with claw marks on in, Alphys takes you there for her date, and Undyne states that she met Alphys at the Garbage Dump.

4) Letters from the various monsters are specifically found in Alphys's lab, showing that they were asking her where their family members are, not Napstablook. Also, this person wrote pretty much all the evidence we need. Can't you just scroll back up and read it? Also, anyone reading this please give their comment kudos, they deserve it
