I don't think it's as violent as a stir bar. The whole thing came up discussions of how yeast companies use shaker tables rather than stir plates for propagation.
well shaking it like it owes you money sounds very violent. certainly it would be moving the liquid at a much higher rate with higher accelerations and decelerations. F = ma.
eta: nm, I see the shaking is done prior to adding yeast.
eta: nm the nm, the instructions see have adding the yeast before the shaking part.
