On another angle, it does seem that those who know the most about the workings of the Island seem to be unable (or unwilling?) to share what they know for some reason. This is where I think much speculation regarding Richard Alpert comes from, and may help answer some questions about him.

I definitely think you are onto something, in terms of the numbers of people on both sides. I liken this to a 'balancing' of forces that are required. The forces being light vs dark. Nice work!

This would explain a lot if it were to be true... One big thing that it may explain is the 815 crash. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that all those people survived such a crash (if any at all should have!). And why some did not. In the 1st Season, Locke seems to have an infinity with the Island, and although Jack's persona is to save every possible person he could in the world, it seems a bit odd that he would be that focused and determined after such a horrific crash and all the aftermath... regardless of what type of personality he may have, I still question his outright unrelenting fortitude - I'd think he would be more in shock! To answer your question about Aaron - I always felt that Boone dying at almost the same exact time was a little to quincidental... This may also tie in with the fact that Richard (1973 version) wanted not only to know where the bodies were buried (that Sawyer & Juliet killed) but also wanted, what's her faces husband's body as well... Maybe the Freighter people may have been replacements for the Other's that were killed on the beach by Hurley and the gang... Lets see if anyone else has any thoughts... Good stuff, Halapeno?
