As I think I mentioned before, the BBI really don't care what she things. OBJ has its uses, and they're going to capitalize on it, but Blackstone has no problems going off and doing things without her orders, knowledge, advice, etc. If she orders him to do something, his most likely reaction is to blink slowly, smile, and say, in his patented "This is my Texas drawl, so you think I'm stupid." voice, "I'll let Buckaroo know you want that done." And then he'll relay it to the other BBIs, and it'll be considered. If it falls into their operations, they'll incorporate some or all of it. If it doesn't, it will be quietly ignored. It's called the Banzai Institute, not the Suzumiya Institute.
I feel I should point out that I haven't seen the anime, and for all intents and purposes, neither has the crew of WW1. Their reaction to everyone kowtowing to Haruhi is one of bemused tolerance. If she's responsible for this whole mess, lovely, but they're going to need more proof than just her faction's insistence. There are more than a few Doubting Thomases among the Irregulars.
All that being said, my thought on the matter is that, if Haruhi is Always Right, maybe the alienation of these assorted faction leaders and personalities is part of making sure that OBJ succeeds. The driving away of various folks allows those folks to attack the Boskonian problem from different angles, to spite Haruhi and her overblown melodramatic nonsense. The question is whether this is an unconscious reflex, making sure her plans succeed, or a conscious Machiavellan manipulation. I leave that up to people more familiar with the series.Ebony the Black Dragon
