It sounds like solomonoff induction. The idea isn't that the one that got the right answer was obviously the best prior. It's that they're the one that matches the new evidence. It's just like how in solomonoff induction, you eliminate all the hypotheses that have been falsified, and leave the ones that just happen to match reality.
