Francis Galton, namesake of the Galton Board,(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galton_board https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galton_board) had this to say of the Central Limit Theorem:
"Order in Apparent Chaos.-I know of scarcely any-, thing so apt to impress the imagination as the wonderful form of cosmic order expressed by the " Law of Frequency of Error." The law would have been personified by the Greeks and deified, if they had known of it. It reigns with serenity and • in complete self-effacement amidst the wildest confusion. The huger the mob, and the greater the apparent anarchy, the more perfect is its sway. It is the supreme law of Unreason."
