You have no before or after visual clue as to when the event took place.

That wouldn't necessarily be true. If you shook it hard enough to move the contents inside the vending machine and the vending machine had a glass front then you would have a static change that would last from the time the event happened until a human being came to work on the machine. That change would be detectable.

Or from the shaking the vending machine is moved an inch forward and an inch to the left. That change would be detectable.

Everyone arguing against me is trying to focus the point that the event is such a short duration that it's not detectable afterwards, and what I've been arguing the whole time and that people keep ignoring is that most of the time after an event happens that the environment around the event changes, and it's detectable afterwards.
