It doesn't, because he didn't.

It wasn't that Emet wanted us to succeed so much as he was curious to see if we could. According to a Yoshi-P interview that was referenced here recently (I forget which thread specifically) it was at least in part to see if we were really who he thought we were--and that he didn't really have a plan if we were--but that can't have been true the whole time, and his talk with the Exarch in the Crystal Tower confirms that he was motivated at least as much by curiosity of just how all of this was possible.

After all, if you found out a group's taking a shot at something you thought was completely impossible, even if you don't actually want them to do the thing, you're gonna watch them try, right?
