Hmmmm.... I'm not a fan of this theory, but one thought did occur to me while reading it. Why are we assuming that the tales that we're receiving via the black box are contemporary. Perhaps we have it backwards, maybe the Dragaeran stories happened in the distant past and the black box transmitted them forward to us (or stored them for untold amounts of time until it was discovered). The black box is the one thing that I wish hadn't appeared as it causes us to try to make the series fit with our reality "I think too much -- therefore I am mad!" http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/
