To the contrary does it not imply any well organized group should have an easier time of accomplishing their aims while the rest are mired in the chaos?

This take makes sense to me. It's not the org as a whole that is accomplishing secret aims, but a sub-org within a chaotic org, or spread across multiple chaotic orgs, that is able to do so since no one is paying close attention to anything.

The claim is that there are literally no observable organizations running without chaos, so are we to believe the only one to achieve it is nefarious instead of just regular profiteering?

I like the meta conspiracy theory that the only organizations running without chaos are covert ones though.

It’s more that within that chaos there are short bursts of organization that can pull off narrow conspiracies.

There are also natural long term aligned players who conspire in ways that they can use their energy for their benefit. “Market makers”

There are also random alignments that appear to be conspiracies ex post facto.
