It should have been against the top or bottom edge of the screen. For most covers, that would have caused the least interference and was a natural spot to look at to check the state.

As to the PM you received, the criticism would put me off, but if they used "grok" correctly, I might have forgiven them.
I suspect that "grok" was being used in the sense R.A.H. created it to mean as I did not share his way of thinking about the importance of the sleep and power off screens. And I can forgive another R.A.H. fan quite a bit. OTOH, he was the only author who literally cost me a pint of blood for an autograph.
