This results in no gene flow between the Java, Bali, and Sumatra populations which allows certain traits of the initial tigers that were trapped on each island to amplify rapidly in their progeny (this is called genetic drift and sometimes the founder effect). 

Nonetheless, your point is agreed upon by at least some scientists. Some have proposed that there are only two tiger subspecies today, the mainland tigers and the island (Sumatra, Java, Bali) tigers. Furthermore, regardless of what subspeciation method one agrees with, the Bali and Javan tiger are very similar thus the subspeciation differences are not as strong as say, between the Amur and Sumatran tiger.

In google now still 9 subspecies...not 2
