Though really close, I don't think that's exactly what the producers
were going for.  If you combine it with the next flashback scene, it
fits in nicely with the farmer/hunter character arc we were introduced
to last season (in an episode also co-written by the same producer).

Locke is a "farmer," who desperately WANTS to be a "hunter."  He
chooses the knife (hunter), wants to "like s****ts and cars," but that
isn't really "who he is."  Or who Alpert was looking for at that
particular time, apparently...
