Mladen sometimes asking about the motivation behind a question brings to
light new information that makes the original question no longer
relevant. In this case it might bring to light a better solution than
"Shake", or else methods for determining if fragmentation is harmful or
not.
I don't believe people are asking in order to either flame you or insult
your intelligence, but there is genuine interest in why you are wanting
to defrag. There is a lot of expertise on this list - indulging a little
curiosity will only help you get better value for your questions.
Cheers

P.s: I'm curious too :-)
