Right my example was flawed, assume n=80 and you run the sampling 1000
times. The random generated list you are sampling has 200 number.

what about if n is only 15 and the population distribution is heavily
skewed? Isn't there a balancing here. Of course w/81 samples, it is hard to
conceive anything but a normal distrib based on the CLT.

The sample mean is the average of your actual sample
values. It isn't obviously 78 or anything else, though
it might be close to 78. And how did you calculate the standard
error?
I stand corrected on this point. Thanks.

I'm not surprised by the results. The "materialistic" viewpoint that most extant science still clings to is clearly wrongheaded as shown by quantum physics
I am estimating variance components for a model with heterogeneous
error variances using Gibbs sampling. This is straightforward for
a model where we simply classify records as to which error variance
they represent, sampling from inverse chi-square distributions.
Assuming error variances change
normal populations result in normal sampling distributions of means ... if
one considers all possible samples
non normal populations never result in exactly normal sampling
distributions regardless of sample sizes (though to the naked eye you might
not be able to tell the difference)

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I have one follwoup ?. You say,
If the original population is normally distributed, the sample means
will also be normally distributed. Even if the original population
