> Still think it was 'cosmic rays' on SKS's machines?

Just FYI, this kind of stuff seems to have been done before, with vulnerable keys found:

https://eprint.iacr.org/2012/064.pdf (2012),

https://factorable.net/

(these two are mentioned and linked to from https://blog.hboeck.de/archives/872-About-the-supposed-facto...)

And (off-topic) if you are wondering why some of your recent comments are being downvoted so much, it's probably because of the tone (saying things such as "good job repeating my research" when work of the same kind with results of the same kind had been done before (see above.))

Still an interesting result and curious re. SKS servers (not) checking subkeys etc...
