I've seen this asserted by user Wrecktangle in various threads and am interested in an elaboration/explanation of this. A relevant link would be sufficient, but I'm looking to have the assertion defended. Thanks in advance.
If you want to "prove" a dist is Gaussian (or not) use a Pearson's chi-squared test.
If you want everything to be Gaussian, then assume it. Rule your world they way you see fit.
BTW, I believe JFK was killed by UFOs. Prove he wasn't.
