Some of us just play the games, like, you know, for fun. To kind of relax from the stress of a job where your mind is stretched all the time.

Thanks for the answers, but, as I said, I figured it out. Hadn't read the rules down to the last iota, so I simply missed the part about fewest possible lines.
I think they did not talk about your invalid solution, but the "overlapping boxes" part. While typical in many puzzles, it just does not make sense here, because it is not the fewest squares, but the fewest boxes. And boxes just don't work the same way when overlapping
