Both Balancing Act and I Tried To Warn You count the missions that you actually have in play at the time the dilemma is encountered. Missions pulled into a Black Hole are discarded and not in play; missions destroyed by a Supernova are also not in play; their span is the only thing that remains.

>Which if both do effects function this way, that really is bogus/wrong!

Sorry, but that isn't the way it works. Using Black Hole to destroy the spaceline is a legitimate strategy.
