That does look like a reasonable case of where it's okay to hide data, but it's mainly because of human shortcomings as rational agents. Since there are so few cases of new data coming in, we need to have scientists go on the record with a theory before they see the data, so they can't try to retroactively show how their theory is "really" consistent with the observed data.
