Yes, that does require a little explanation.  The .. tells ggplot the
variable (density) is not in the original dataset, but is instead
produce by the statistical transformation (stat_bin for the histogram
and stat_density for the density plot).  By default the histogram uses
..count.. (the raw count) while density uses ..density.., so y =
..density.. tells them both to use the same scale (you could also use
y = ..count.. but count on a density is plot is a little less common)
