"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.

Reaction Time: "?"
Michael you rat bastard. You fucking shit. UGH. What the hell is going on there?!?
What's the deal with Claire's psychic being a fraud??
Ok, sorry, detracting from the important stuff. Another hatch has been found - Pearl Station. So that's now 4 we know of (where does the communication system in Pearl lead to?) . Jack has been (seemingly) been proven correct in assuming that Swan was a social experiment. Like I said before, people do not take well to being shown that their beliefs are wrong.
What confuses me is that Eko's brother Yemi says that Locke has lost his way, and needs to be lead back on the right path. In my mind, Locke has always held tight to his beliefs, and finding the Pearl Station would be a detraction from that. So does that mean Jack is right?
Or is that Eko, in reaffirming his belief in pushing the button, is trying to persuade Locke to continue to believe? Maybe he has been wavering because of what Henry Gale has said and done. There's too many ways to interpret it.
Hurley saying goodbye to Libby was totally heartbreaking. :(
