It does illustrate a special case of the CLT, in the sense that as the number of bins increases, the distribution (the mean of a bunch of +1/-1 Bernoulli random variables) converges to a normal distribution.

yes but the number of bins isn't increasing.

EDIT: nm, I saw where you can increase the bins.
