All it says is that if scores were normally distributed, then "people would be so-and-so comparable". Almost all assumptions of this method are false. Any time anyone mentions the central limit theorem in applied stats is a warning sign for pseudoscience. If reality existed at the end of the CLT, it would be in heat death.
