MIB LIES

The "recruitment" of Sawyer by MIB may play out as standard operating plot procedure for LOST. Everything said by a character to motivate another to "freely" do something is most likely a bold faced lie.

If we apply this lie detector to the statements made by Flocke to Sawyer, a different picture of MIB appears:

1. MIB was never a man.
2. MIB was never betrayed.
3. MIB is not trapped on this island.
4. MIB does not want to go home.
5. The ocean side cave was not Jacob's, but MIB's. (This makes more sense considering Jacob used ink and paper to create lists, not cave walls. Also, Jacob spent most of his time in the statue creating tapestries than on the edge of the island.)
