Devotion aside, I have a couple (make it a triple) of comments:

I once installed a thermometer inside the airbox and measure increased temperature when stopped. Once on the move it reverted back to ambient temperature plus a few degrees.

The airbox is not there just to avoid hot air getting into the intake. Noise and fluid dynamics were taken into consideration.
