Schoenfeld has made two measurements of the box's weight.

_IF_ he could do that, then his claims might be able to hold up. But he
cannot possibly make any measurement of infinite duration. The finite
duration of the measurement is related to its finite accuracy (but there
are also noise, etc. as I said before).

His basic fallacy is assuming infinite accuracy in his measurements. He
is essentially ignoring the HUP and its effects on his measurements, and
then claiming he has "proven" that the HUP isn't valid....
