You added energy to the system when you put the flashlight (batteries) into
the box.

I specified "lighted flashlight."

Like the hypothetical box your mind is a closed system as well.
Into the bozo bin with you.

Are you meaning the scenario with an inductor connecting two
capacitors?

In that case the total charge on the two capacitors will be constant -
it has to be. The integral of the current out of one cap is the same
as the integral into the other. The only way for it to be different
is if there is a connection to the other side of the capacitors.

If you add a switch (or just a diode) you can stop the process when
maximum energy has been transferred to the second capacitor - this has
been used for many decades in pulse RADAR systems to charge the pulse
forming network.

I agree with you that it is not at all accurate to just quote the
"Charge is conserved mantra" but in some situations it will be true.
