It means that it simply is not expected on the soul hypothesis that, when a brain in certain conditions sends a status to the soul, that status message somehow makes the soul forget what was sent.

If the evidence strongly differs with what your hypothesis predicts, and strongly matches what a competing hypothesis predicts, then that is evidence for the competing hypothesis.

Antegrade amnesia is so unexpected on dualism, one needs to resort to ad hoc reasoning to explain it. See the title of this thread.
