Limiting distribution conjecture for the optimal objective value

From papers

Let mm, nn, and A(n)A(n) be as in Theorem~, and for each nn let c=c(n)c=c(n) be a uniformly random unit cost vector independent of A(n)A(n). Write zz^* for the optimal objective value. Limiting distribution conjecture. The sequence of normalized random variables

zEzVarz\frac{z^*-{\mathbb E}\,z^*}{\sqrt{{\rm Var}\,z^*}}

converges in distribution to the standard Gaussian. Numerical experiments for Gaussian and Rademacher coefficient matrices support the conjecture, but no proof or resolution is given here.
