I think everyone would agree that the box stays square... Can you explain the problem you see with this in more detail?

The answer to the Q&A said that tall was in relation to a horizontal plane. It didn't say in relation to whatever angle the floor was.
Nitpicky, but I used to get paid for nitpicking the EPA regulations, so I guess it carries over. As we say in soccer, referees have to know what the Laws of the Game say before you can know how far you can bend them. In my mind, I can bend this answer far enough to not worry about an uneven floor.
