The box might feast off your screams or sense your fear.

Then again, screams might hurt it. That's the problem with true radical uncertainty - if you're sufficiently uncertain that you can't even conjecture about meta-probabilities, how do you know if ANY action (or lack of action) might have a net positive or negative outcome?
