"Is it because you need to look down the barrel of a gun, and find out what you really believe, John?"
Yes, Desmond. That's exactly what needs to happen. He needs to know that everything he's believed in for so long isn't wrong.
The map of the island, complete with the other DHARMA stations as seen by Locke in "Lockdown", was a creation of Inman during his tenure inside the Pearl Station. Also, according to Inman, the purpose of pushing the button is to diffuse the electromagnetic energy before it builds up too much. We see that the communication system discovered by Locke and Eko in the Pearl Station in "?" leads to...nowhere. Another social experiment?
"I think I crashed your plane."
It's not enough proof for Locke at this point. He's been battling the demons of his beliefs for too long - he needs to know. Not even knowing that he saved Desmond's life the night he pounded on the hatch after Boone was injured in "Deus Ex Machina" is enough.
"I was wrong."
Enter fail-safe.
And begin Season 3.
