This is a theoretical result, not a lab result. It also doesn't violate anything because the more energetic reactions are proceeding toward the less energetic reactions -- as is normal. By mixing reactions in a non-bell shaped distribution, they arrive at funny averages (the thermometer temperature) but this seperation cannot be sustained except by energy input.

So no laws of thermodynamics are being broken. Not a one.
