No, hairyfigment's answer was entirely appropriate. Zero power would mean zero effect. Any kind of interaction with the universe means some level of power. Perhaps in the future you should say nearly zero power instead so as to avoid misunderstanding on the parts of others, as taking you literally on the "zero" is apparently "legalistic".
As to the issues with nearly zero power:
Mind, I'm not arguing that there is anything wrong with boxing. What's I'm arguing is that it's wrong to rely only on boxing. I recommend you read some more material on AI boxing and Oracle AI. Don't miss out on the references.
I have read all of the resources you linked to and their references, the sequences, and just about every post on the subject here on LessWrong. Most of what passes for thinking regarding AI boxing and oracles here is confused and/or fallacious.
It would be helpful if you could point to the specific argument which convinced you of this point. For the most part every argument I've seen along these lines either stacks the deck against the human operator(s), or completely ignores practical and reasonable boxing techniques.
Again, I'd love to see a citation. Having a real AGI in a box is basically a ticket to unlimited wealth and power. Why would anybody risk losing control over that by unboxing? Seriously, someone owns an AGI would be paranoid about keeping their relative advantage and spend their time strengthening the box and investing in physical security.
