You misunderstood my assumption.  I was assuming that the _vectors_
Z_i are i.i.d.  This does not mean that Z_i(1) and Z_i(2) are
independent from each other, nor that they are identically
distributed.  It means that the vector Z_i is independent from Z_j and
that these vectors have the same distribution for i != j.  (And
likewise for any finite collection of indices.)
