Two things.

1) Most true souls don't know they have a tadpole in their head and the tadpole actively manipulates them into not believing it even when told.

2) A lot of true souls lie about orders from the Absolute to get their way. They still hear the Absolute, but she's not micromanaging them to that level. So Gut is lying about that specific thing to get what she wants, just like the Absolute probably doesn't actually care about the Gnomes as long as they don't stand in her way, and Nere is just a jerk.
