        … You do realize that by this analogy closing the box just traps hope (whatever its analog would be) in the box with all the negatives already escaped right? That’s like the whole point of Pandora’s Box. Argue a different analogy if you think this one inapplicable, but within the framework of the analogy the consequences of the “close the container after the evils have escaped” plan is well established
