In colloquial English today capital letters can encode all sorts of
meaning. All-caps is used for emphasis.

Exactly. Different case can cange the emphasis, but not the meaning. "box",
"Box" and "BOX" still has the same meaning whichever case is used.

You trimmed off the sentence which provided a counterexample, and then
replied as if that sentence didn't exist. Enjoy your childish word
games; I'll not waste any further time.
