Why am I not surprised that the guy who defends p-hacking (because if you get a statistically significant result, that means you Did A Science!) and wants to use machines to discover "emergent knowledge" (read as: take the output of a black box at face value)... ...is also in favor of data snooping

I guess it's technically okay to collect data before formulating hypotheses so long as you absolutely 100% do NOT look at them, but even that's iffy. If you do a 1-tailed t-test but pick which tail AFTER you collect your data, you've really done a 2-tailed t-test (but falsely halved your p-value).
