Was it because he told Richard before he was born that he came from the future and was chosen as the leader by Jacob? Or, was that irrelevant to Locke being the leader?
I think Locke never was in the equation UNTIL he met Richard in the past. Becasue he dropped names like Jacob, Richard sort of believed him. Then when he wentto see him in 1956 to see if he was indeed born 2 years after he met him like John said. Then later he went to see him again becasue they atart the leadershipprocess early. He must have figured if John was to be the leader he would at least pick the compass up to show the "link" to what happened in 1954. Again when John was a teenager he tried to get him to come to a science camp no doubt to test his qualifications for leader.
What he didnt relalize is that in when he went to see Young John, the events of 1954 didnt take place until Dec. 03/ Jan 04. Thats when all the time jumpingbegan.
The memories created must take sometime before they "catch up" to present day. But remember last week Richard told john the nex time you see me Iwouldnt recognize you. He gave him the compass as a sign to say " You may not know me now but you do/will and you trust me with this for somereason."
