Umm... Ben has said several times it was a metaphor in canon. Of course, there was the fact that John didn't believe it was, which means it could have not been. Pity Locke is dead, though, because now it seems everything he ever believed in was meaningless.
Okay - I better stop making me miserable hours away from the show!
I always took it to be a metaphor, but I get what you are saying. It might as well not be a metaphor at all. You know - I don't think they remember that man at all.That entire story is so choppy. Cooper should have been like ninety if he really was Locke's father, and what was a con man doing sleeping with a 16 year old girl. Guh. I so hate that Cooper storyline.
