Since Haruhi is unaware of her reality-warper powers, she is for all intents and purposes psychologically a normal human being. Everything that she consciously does, she should be held accountable for, as if she were a normal human being.

Furthermore, as evidenced later in the series by Day of Sagittarius, Kyon seems to attempt not to treat Haruhi as 'God' or 'The End of the World as We Know It', but as a normal girl with issues. To a degree, he 'knows' that Haruhi is WorldEater, and he tries to avoid giving a damn. This could be seen as selfish, but personally I think it's part of his role in the SOS brigade - everybody else treats Haruhi with kid gloves, so it's Kyon (generally) that has to be 'reality'.

Kyon attempting to 'hit' Haruhi is in my view the extreme extension of this.

Also I have no idea where you were going with the Stanford Prison Experiment. It doesn't seem relevent in any way.

/EDIT Next episode is last of the Sighs arc. If we're going Chronologically I think we have perhaps one or two mid-story one-shots to do?
