My theory now is that Richard is an island "ghost." He is a person that can stay young forever because he is already "dead." Just like other ghosts can interact with people (see: Charlie, Mr. Ecko's brother, Christian, etc.), even off the island, I think that it seems the most logical explanation for Richard at this point. Richard simply does the will of the island.
Moving the island could be how Ben has been able to keep it hidden from Whidmore for so long. However, it wouldn't explain how the island continues to get food supplies from the Dharma Initiative. I did like this episode though. It gave some context for Locke and the island, and it also showed us Richard again.
