If we're going to pick nits, it would illustrate the "Weak" LLN, not the Strong LLN. The Strong LLN still holds here, but you'd need to plot the sample paths to illustrate it.

I was actually trying my best to not pick nits, because HN has somewhat too much of that.

The reason I posted is to defend the OP against some assertions that I felt were picking at details of what started out to be a simple and fun visualization. I wrote what I did about the LLN to supply some intuition to the person who created the visualization, in case they wanted to put these two results in perspective.
