You're giving Klout WAY TOO much credit here. It's not MAGIC. It's math. Your Klout score is based on a mathematical algorithm. So when you disconnect networks from Klout you are excluding information from their calculation. Of course your score would change - because the information being used to generate the score is not the same.
By the same token - when I ADD Google+ to my Klout account my SCORE ACTUALLY DROPS. Why? Because I rock on Facebook and Twitter but I suck on Google+ and Klout knows it.
It has nothing to do with the ideas "that because I wasn’t participating by their rules, I was less influential" - it's just math.
