i think the idea may be much simpler. it's still a little bit like a short in the dark, but from my understanding of the argument, it can be well-motivated. if the proof survives the inevitable rigorous review, i think we'll get a much shorter argument (thank god)

it's not possible for me to really comment upon the proof itself because it's well outside my expertise, but just from having read parts of it myself, i understand just about as much as alpöge says—that's the snappy punchline of the paper. but it sweeps quite a bit under the rug because the remainder of all 100 or so pages is just about getting to that point.

i'm not sure if this is what you mean or are looking for, but it is true that that corresponding sequence of gaussian measures converge weak*-ly to the dirac mass, which captures exactly what you say about how physicists might speak of it.
