Did Locke know Boone would Fall?
If you ask people to go up dangerous looking cliffs, you have to at least have an inkling that something might happen to him, but I genuinely don't think he expected Boone to fall because of the premonition - who, at that time, was to say that Bloodied Boone wasn't a result of Locke's failing to carry out the requirements of the dream? And I think 'Boone was a sacrifice the island demanded' was an excuse concocted after the event so Locke could live with himself: I don't believe it was something he was actively working towards.
