Good point re: cindy, but i'm guessing that even she hasn't bee filled in with everything that Ben knows - I'm guessing that she's just gone with the flow kinda thing, and taken more on good faith.

I just don't think that Ben has been 'allowed' to reveal very much to Jack and the Losties, because there could be a good reason why..

For instance, Alex once asked him why he didn't just let the Losties go..and Ben exclaims: "I CAN'T!"

That suggests that Ben either can't because he's not allowed to, or because doing so would jeapordise the island, the world, time and space, or something very important. I get the feeling that time may be on a loop, and to tell people something they shouldn't yet know, could cause time itself to crash..

..or something..
