What do we know about Jacob and Smokie other than they disagree about what the island needs?
Exactly. So far all we really have to conclude "Jacob=good, Unlocke=evil" is that Jacob wears white, Unlocke wore black and Richard the others repeatedly saying about Unlocke "he's evil, he wants to kill everyone."
And, granted, Unlocke has killed a fair number of people as Smokey. However, Jacob's responsible for putting shit into motion, including the plane crash that killed dozens of people and (if I'm right) ordering the mass slaughter of the Dharmas.
It kind of makes me wonder.
