Maybe it's all just one "Long Con"

[My Romance]

I read somewhere someone suggesting that the whole thing was just "one jaint con". I don't like the theory, but it could be true. The person in question suggested it was to rid Hurley of his millions/billions, but I don't think so.

As Sawyer said: the trick is to make someone do something that they think is their idea, but its really yours. S

Semms like this indicates that the lost people come up with ideas that possibly were not their own. (such as build a raft, make an army, et cetera). Perhaps someone, or something, made them do this. This could go even so far as to how and why they were brought to the Island. They each could have thought it was their idea to take the flight, but when in reality, it was someone else's.

Certainly a good thought, but it's still a little vauge. The money thing is WAY out there though.
