I'm afraid it's a little more complicated than that. You can't really say that it's blocked, much the same way you can't say that it's open. The Hormuz is in two straits at once, open and closed. An observer determines what it is is by sailling through it. If he lives, it's open. If he dies, it's closed.
It's the Schrödinger's Strait.
So what's in the box on this occasion, presumably rather than a cat i's Trump? If so can I suggest that the best way to collapse the waveform isn't to open the box, it's to nail the box shut, weight it with battleship chains and throw it in the deepest part of the Strait?
