Default Did Locke know Boone would Fall?

Very nice theory man.

But how was Locke supposed to interpret the dream though, I'm confused.  Are you saying he was supposed to realise Boone was definitely going to get hurt and so nobody should've gone up into the plane.  I.e. they were supposed to simply climb the mountain and see the "?" of circle?
Well people are arguing that he should interpreted the dream in the way that Boone may have been hurt in Locke's quest, all I've done is turned it on it's head. Like the island was showing him what was going to happen if Locke hadn't followed 'his' destiny. So the vision was say "this is what will happen if you do not complete your destiny"

I'm not sure why the island took away the use of his legs if it wanted him to find the Pearl [or Observation hatch].  I think there are several forces at work here, one that wanted him to find the Pearl/Observation hatch and one that didn't want him to.
Perhaps there are two, but when has the island ever 'gave' anything, without asking for something in return? Granted, perhaps it traded Boones life, but for what? The Swan? But that doesn't make sense - why not show Locke the pearl first, then the Swan - the events would have been the same but a lot quicker. But perhaps that's it, perhaps there are two opposing forces (like you say) one that wanted Locke to push the button for eternity, and one that wanted him to blow the darn thing up...

As with the beauty of lost, it would be impossible to see which 'force' is good and which is evil, even though we've probably seen both at work on numerous occasions!

By the way, I have a tendency to strongly argue my case even when I don't necessarily believe it! (like this topic) - However I do think there are 2 'entities' - perhaps someone/thing is playing Smokey - perhaps there are two 'users'
