Well, unless you're a mathematician with access to the physics closet full of massless rope, frictionless pulleys and gears.
Yeah I got 'em on aliexpress

The point is that a mechanism that could take advantage of that much torque would be severely limited by an enormous amount of torque from even some of the smallest motors. Which would obviously be a crippling factor in how it is mounted, internal construction, how it is coupled to a load, etc if it was used as a transmission.

Now of course it could possibly be used for some kind of super precise indexing or something related.
