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?

After I read that I've been thinking (oh ohh) abit more about the whole situation..
What if the vision Locke had has been TOTALLY interpreted wrong here? We now presume that it was always meant for Boone to go up, but what if we're wrong (noo). What if 'the island' removed Lockes ability to walk, not to stop him from climbing, but to test him?
Locke has lived by the motto 'don't tell me what I can't do' pretty much ever since he lost the use of his legs (presumably). The Walkabout is a prime example of this; Locke wanted to do this even though he couldn't walk. What if the island was giving Locke this exact chance, to complete his destiny, by remove his ability to walk..?
I put it to you (the jury lol) that if Locke had managed to climb the plane (or maybe just the mountain area next to it) the plane would not have fell and Locke would have seen the pearl (and thusly, completing his destiny) however, after wrongly interpreting the dream and losing the ability to walk as a sign that Boone must go up, he was thusly 'punished' - covering the pearl/his destiny and killing his (closest?) friend, Boone...
It doesn't really change much, per-se but it does possibly explain why everything that happened (being conned by the Swan) actually happened. Perhaps it was one big 'punishment' bestowed on Locke for wrongly interpreting this whole sequence of events.
Or, alternatively, not
