> How does Apple establish "prior art" if I go public with it?

You're not going public with the HOW, only the effects. Reread my comment about asking your trusted peers, please.

And then send Apple my survey results?! Not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel here.

You're assuming your peers will agree with you. I'm gently suggesting that they may not, and you need that check.

You might be right. It might be the next Meltdown vulnerability. But it might not, and Apple already told you it isn't, and that's why you need to talk to your peers.
