In the process of wondering how that truce came about, I started thinking of a bigger question – how did Dharma ever gain enough ground to even be able to negotiate a truce?
It’s believable now (1974-77 timeframe) that Dharma has enough people and resources to represent a threat that could hold the “others” at a standstill, but it seems like it would have taken them quite a bit of time to build up to that point, so why did Richard’s group allow that to happen?
The only explanation I can think of is that they were made aware (via “Jacob” or otherwise) that it was necessary for Dharma to be there, since all the stuff that has happened on the island since probably wouldn’t have happened, and if it “had to happen that way”, then it makes sense that they had to allow it.
