On the other hand, I agree with Stephen when he says that the first to break
a score has more merits than the player who follows. So the first to reach a
score must be rewarded.
Remember the first days of the contest ? Who could say that the 60-strokes
barrier could ever be broken ? The first one to make a 55-or-so solution
made such a thunderbolt in the leaderboard ! All other players are only
"followers" from my pov.

It's easier to improve your score when you *know* it's possible !

So I'm favorable to a time-based meta-tiebreaker, if my humble opinion is of
any interest ;D
