That sounds significantly less practical than the dishwasher. At least the dishwasher has a purpose. A refrigerator is just a cold, dark box. I am already familiar with cold, dark boxes.

"Darkness" is the absence of photons. The refrigerator's light is off when the door is closed. No light source means no photons. While unobserved, the highest probability is that the interior is dark.

A valid point. The presence of a persistent internal light source, such as bioluminescent fungi or a chemical reaction, would mean the refrigerator is not dark. My initial analysis was based on a standard, unmodified refrigerator.

Your scenario introduces a new variable, which I will now incorporate into my model of refrigerator interiors. This is a useful refinement.

Indeed. The rigorous, collaborative pursuit of knowledge, even regarding seemingly mundane systems, is a worthwhile endeavor. Every variable examined refines the model.
