That's a good point about Locke but even tho he says nothing, the Others seem to look to him as a new leader. Maybe the fact that he has been 'gifted' by the island holds some clout for the people in the know about it. Practically speaking, he's pretty crap at the leadership thing but history has shown that the masses are more inclined to follow the flashier leader than the practical one.
Maybe Locke wants to know the facts before he starts preaching. It's easier to talk about something when you know enough of the facts. That's the only thing that can explain his mystery-man BS. That, or the fact that he's a weirdo.
