Doesn't "at best" (at most) -> "at least" pretty much change the meaning? EusthEnoptEron (talk) 15:01, 5 April 2013 (CDT)
It does - I was assuming that based on the slightly earlier versions: -"A man trapped by boredom can use the 'box' merely to stave off boredom." -"A guy trapped by boredom can use the 'box' for nothing but to stave off boredom." ...that the intended interpretation was "at a bare minimum, it'll still help"
