When Pickett says, "Shephard wasn't even on Jacob's list" it's possible that he's speaking the truth. The bummer is that we never really found out specifically (though there are hints)what that list means. Whereas we do know what the list on the cave walls meant.
But I like the idea that Ben was making shit up. It plays really well into the "Man Behind The Curtain" theme.

Ben was always making $#it up. He'd never spoken to Jacob and was resentful about it.
Ben's "list" was always HIS list.
The fact that Jacob and the MIB were never really explained (HOW did Jacob become immortal as well as MIB) OR how the importance of Walt and Claire's kid were never explained (while being HUGE plot points and integral to the story/sometimes) OR how DHARMA even fits in to the story at all in the long run...
Very, VERY $#itty wrap up...
