It is almost impossible to proactively find existing art conclusively. However, this wasn't my expectation in this case. I would just like them to correct the facts in their preprint, and add a citation which is missing. They refused to do that.
If you know a reference to an even more prior mention of meta-judges, please let me know. I am happy to add references to the repository.
Very typically authors write "to our knowledge novel method", which is fine, but in this case the authors cannot write even that if they know the method isn't novel now.
