No evidence of nano-tech now, but back when that was written, in late 2005/early 2006, it was still very much up in the air. That's the problem with theories like this though, since it's so easy to disprove them after the story unfolds. For example, we didn't have any idea that Jacob existed back when it was written, or even that Ben even existed as a character. Please remember when that was written.

No evidence for nano-technology. Rubbish and a major stretch! The "good ones" that are taken are lead to believe that the island is special, they were brought there to have a better life and that they have a great purpose for being there. They are lead to believe that the "Others" that took them are good and Jacob and God brought them there. The children are most important, because the "Others" can't have any children. The taking of the guns is a way for the "others" to protect themselves and keep the survivors from mounting an assault, because they have few weapons and keep getting "out-smarted" at every turn. Fear is a major factor in all of the "others" plans. The others have not had access to the hatch, but have been certain that the button would always be pushed, because they could keep an eye on the people inside through the "Pearl" station that they definitely knew about and knew that it would be a tough place to attack and capture due to it's fortress like set-up and the cache of weapons it stored.

I enjoy reading all the interesting theories. Firsly to answer your question why the others were taking the Tailenders. Goodwin does admit to Ana-Lucia that they only take the good ones. The others got the list of names from Goodwin as he was the imposter who infiltrated the tailenders camp. Remember the others are not only taking children. They're also taking adults, so that squashes the íntegration theory. Also there is no evidence to suggest that the Clan which kidnapped Walt are associated with Goodwin's Others. G Hi!

I suspect your theories all have merit, but there is another reason why the "Others" would take children. . . they may be doing it for the same reason American Indians took captives--to replenish their numbers. You take children because they are the easiest to intergrate into your society. I think the "Others" have been cut off for a long time. Hence the ragged clothing and the need to take the weapons of Jack, Locke and Sawyer (they seemed real interested in those weapons). I do not think it was just to keep them from taking a pot shot as they left. I also suspect the Others have not had access to the hatch for a long time. Joe Steve:
