Do we know if Jacob really created the lists or was it Richard? Did Richard edit the lists?
Ben never saw Jacob and we really don't know what Richard is really up to. Is he just Jacob's puppet? We don't know the relationship between Jacob and Richard yet. Richard may owe Jacob for the long life, or he may resent him.
If Jacob did create the lists, he would have never put his secret weapons (Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Jin/Sun, Sayid, Hugo) on it.
Jack is the only one that can stand up to Locke. Whether you hate him or love him, the Jack and Locke conflict is key to Lost.
I know, I'm a Jack fanboy, I'll go back in the shadows and hide.
