I think you're remembering the dialog wrong, or there's a difference in inflection. (And it's just poor use of personal pronouns by the writers)
When I watched it I understood that they were talking about separate entities and that the "Hard Bargain" and "Similar Offers" they paraphrased was just a way of alluding to how MiB and Jacob use a similar methodology to prove their points.

No need for arrogance. After all, this is a DISCUSSION thread; as in to discuss our own theories and have others interpret them and point out any flaws in our reasoning.
You got the pointing out flaws part correct, but as I said, there is no need for arrogance. My "nonsense" is simply how I interpreted the scene.Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

A thought that crossed my mind in the course of this episode and I'm sort of building my own psychographic profile of MiB... And then How Claire is a Mirror of Rousseau...
I'm beginning to think that he manipulated Ben into taking Alex from Rouseau... So he could more easily manipulate Rouseau into picking off the Others... Then with his best Pawn gone... He pulls a similar move with Claire to take that same spot in his game.
And that Kate taking Aaron was just playing the same role as Ben taking Alex.
*****
Also noted that MiB can only assume the form of "Dead People." But only incarnate... And that all the "Ghosts" are not him.6'4"

I think one of the realities we are seeing in the flash-sideways is that there are somethings that are just what they are, and we choose to let go of them or let them rule us...
Sayid never would have gotten Nadia no matter how you slice the bread. In "Non-Crash" world he gave her up and loved from a far... In "Crash" world, she died because he wouldn't let her go.
Same with Jack and His father-son problems... In Non-Crash world he chose to see past them in reflection to his son... In Crash world... He let himself be haunted by them... And one way or another, he was never going to keep his appendix...
Similar story with Kate and Running and how she never could be Aaron's mother, because she's not his mother... She's a runner.6'4"

Tonight we learned:
- Where Dogens ball came from (a question that came up this season)
- Dogen was the reason MIB couldn't get in the temple, not the temple itself. (a question that came up this season)
- Why Dogen came to the island (a question that came up this season)
- Kate will randomly follow pretty much anyone, even if it's a killer smoke monster who just ravaged the temple and killed a dozen people and a torturer who you can tell is not quite right.
- ABC can cram 7-8 commercial breaks into a 60 minute time block.
- Sh*ts getting real and Richard apparently decided to take a vacation
- ABC's promo's are still full of crap and we didn't find out anything useful except answers to questions that were created as final season filler and stuff from an alternate time-line.eRepublik Game:
