Thanks,but that is why I am concerned about my inability to get its 
intuition.It seems contradictory to me,that an inherently negatively or 
positively skewed population distribution,could be normalised,by enlarging the 
sample size.If anything,that should retrace the skewness and not normalize the 
skewness.
