That's how limits at infinity work.

You seem to be positing that Maxwell's Demon can be reassigned to another impossible task, but that isn't a proper use of his "powers".
Infinities defy simple assumptions about maths, while Maxwell's Demon only needs to ignore the Laws of Thermodynamics.
I'm being serious, not glib, here. "And then do it infinitely many times" doesn't automatically enable any possible outcome, any more than the "multiverse of all possible outcomes" enables hot dog fingers on Jamie Curtis.
