And who are you asking to comment on the comment (Henry?)? Can't quite tell from the above, as the comment you want a comment on has been snipped.

No .. we are talking about the "box itself" (not the air within it, which was discussed separately). You just claimed it has a vector momentum of zero but has a scalar momentum (ie magnitude of the vector momentum) that is "certainly notzero".
