It was a pretty stupid advertising decision. I think it looks cool and I really enjoyed Man in the High Castle (book and tv show which I binged last weekend), but how could they not have anticipated that reaction? Or, maybe they did...

They are a wee bit over-sensitive about these sort of things I'll grant.

No, but you have the internet and the will to use it. I just googled eigenstates and in less than 10 seconds caught your drift.
Yes, but can an infinite Thue-Morse chain be calculated by its exact electronic Green function using a real-space renormalization-group approach?
Have you tried turning it off and turning it on again?
