1: True. But since the last thing you do is 'Fight', he doesn't get spared.

2: Really? I thought that was the amount of EXP you have before the fight, and Sans gives you that last 1 EXP to push you to LV 20. It'd make sense for you to get a small amount of EXP from him, considering he is 'the weakest enemy'.

3: In the terms of Undertale, you get EXP when you kill someone. You do not get EXP unless they are dead. That's just how the game works. So in Undertale, execution definitely means death if the executed party. Let's look at the definition, though.

"the carrying out of a sentence of death on a condemned person. "the execution of juveniles is prohibited by international law" synonyms: capital punishment, the death penalty, being put to death, killing;"

I think most would agree that with a definition like that, if someone is still alive after being 'executed', they have not been executed at all.

4: He is. Doesn't mean he manages to have over 999999 HP from it, though. Heck, doesn't mean he has any more extra HP than anyone else would get from sleeping.

5: And yet he can stall you for a very long time when you're at LV19 and even kill you several times over. And as mentioned, you only get EXP for EXECUTING an enemy, which in Undertale definitely means you kill them. That's the only way to get EXP in the game, unless you're hacking. And killing Sans is not hacking.

Looking at the evidence of how the game works, and the things Sans says in the battle about how he can't afford not to care and that he will stop you, it's hard to believe that he would simply limp away and let you destroy the world unless his death was already a certainty, a foregone conclusion. Otherwise Sans would have just kept on fighting until you DO kill him, or until you give up and Reset. After all, fighting so hard to save the world, and then giving up because you get hit once, but you're still alive? No-one is gonna do "oh dear you hit me. Welp, have fun destroying the world!" if they can still fight.
