"Before collision was added to the said room."

That's speaking of the real world timeline, not the game's timeline. Don't mix those two together.

And you are right, the posts cannot be used as canon evidence. But outside of the game, it is still true that the Annoying Dog represents Toby Fox. So then the natural question is, why can't the Annoying Dog in the game represent Toby too? Just because Toby said that his tweets in general aren't canon, so that people wouldn't take his jokes literally? I think we need a more direct confirmation from him about this.

And I don't think your analogy with Earthbound is going anywhere promising, I simply stated that he did work on what is, or rather, what will supposed to be a full game, that will also belong to him, and also that it was his first PROPER game, that he could legitimately call his own, original idea. The line about programming a whole game didn't lie. You said it didn't give credit to the other contributors, but I said that it doesn't have to, since it's still true even if credit isn't given - Toby DID program a whole game. If you program only a hack, albeit a big one, you can't call it a whole game, since you still need the original core game for it to work. But unlike that, Undertale IS a whole game.
