This is what I like to call 'Going Down A Layer' in the lore.

Sometimes, you can't see the clues for something, until you actually have the theory in place, and are specifically looking for That Thing.

The first time I watched Steven Universe, I didn't see any easter eggs linking Pink Diamond to Steven. But after I started looking for that.. suddenly the pilot episode Gem Glow became one huge link, with all sorts of little details jumping out at me through the rest of the series.

It's happening here, now, when we're looking for evidence that Gaster's memory has been deteted from the world.

Not only does this throw Undyne's statements about the monsters got their tech into a new light, we've actually found a canon way to erase someone's memory from the world in the direct lore of Undertale.
