a process otherwise known as "magic"

I think that you are missing the point. That's not a useful approach. Pointing out simple and accessible loopholes in a proposed containment method is more likely to drive home the point that AI boxing is in general a lousy idea. Or maybe it's not that terrible, if someone suggests a containment method no one can crack.

Why would someone want to set up a boxed AI when they aren't planning on getting information out of the AI?

Let me quote my other comment:

This would not be a useful AI box if the setup works as intended, but if a bit of escapology gets one out, then there is no point in discussing how to make a useful box.
