No. The problem arises while defining the notion "after infinitely"
many shakes".
The infinite iterate of a function can be defined under certain
circumstances, but there is no general definition of this notion.
("Can be defined" means that one uses the axioms to define
a new function in a way that it coincides with the intuition of the
mathematician. It does not means that it conforms to some
absolute general principle of "infinite iteration".)
