Certainly not! Since the Duck Test is a form of inductive, not deductive, reasoning, Sans could only ever PROBABLY be Ness. All I'm trying to do is to open the minds of people who say it's "crazy" or "impossible." And I'm sure this isn't what Toby Fox originally intended, as this is all just artistic interpretation through logical analysis, but the idea's not as far-fetched as it may seem, nor has Toby explicitly debunked it or refuted it.

I'm sorry if finding/watching a YouTube recording of Papyrus' date was too difficult to do (let alone the actual walkthrough to the point), as well as browsing his in-battle page for the matter of his "WELL...! 'HUFF' IT'S CLEAR... YOU CAN'T! 'HUFF' DEFEAT ME!!!" quote, but i hope the sweat on his skull at the date, and the aforementioned huffs at the fight (which we also can find at Sans' fight, and i presume these are the basis for a thought that Sans breathes) will suffice. I forgive you.

And I guess we can cross off "Sans sweats" as evidence for him being Ness, then! The breathing, though, is actually visible in Sans' in-battle sprite, unlike Papyrus'. Moreover, Papyrus has verbalized sound effects like "gasp" before.

PSI still existed in Mother 3, that was after Giygas' death. And there were also some objects attacking you in Mother 3 But did they use PSI attacks?

As i said, Ness have to dodge things way faster than Frisk, like lasers, lightnings etc. Obviously he can't dodge that as easily as Sans dodge a kid with a knife.

Frisk's strength and speed are, as I said, undetermined, but the stats speak for themselves. 62 is not the highest speed Ness has achieved, it is the highest speed he can ever possibly have. And for your information, the fastest enemy in EarthBound is a caterpillar. Your argument is invalid.

Toby Fox's exact words were "Fan theories are fun but I feel embarrassed whenever someone calls attention to something I did when I was 16" and "I guess I should just accept "bad rom hack with swears" as part of my eternal legacy." No explicit denial, only an expression of regret. As I've mentioned previously, those aren't even close to being similar to one another (see the Kim Kardashian example).
