Is the routine reporting of who appointed what judge a new (ish) thing? Was there a time when, for all but the most controversial opinions, we did not care about that?

What do we DO with a justice who decides he know better that the district court about the credibility of a witness, without having actually seen that witness? I can see rejecting reliance on a witness where the witness is dead wrong--say, in a boundary dispute going with the testimony of a witness who argues that because the earth is flat the measurements change. But credibility?
