Admittedly this isn’t my field. But that sounds a lot like “I only show my work to people who will validate it,” does it not?

It doesn't put him in a much better light, though. It's like he's so incompetent that he didn't even realise that there was something that needed covering up.
It's likely that this was omitted from the paper as an oversight; such imputation likely wouldn't have affected the outcome of peer review.
