Taking only the mystery box (one‑boxing) is always the way to maximize your expected payoff. The predictor is so accurate that choosing just the box virtually guarantees the million, whereas taking both almost ensures you miss it.

this is clearly the correct logic.
the two boxers argument is: "yeah, but what if im built different"

I somehow don't fully agree with my answer, but if I had to pick: One boxer
