Question on example 3.0.1 in Yurinsky's book "Sums and Gaussian vectors"

Good day to All.

Let $S_{1,n} = \sum_{i=1}^{n}\xi_{i}$, where $(\xi_{i})_{i \in \mathbb{N}}$ be independent RV with values in some Banach space.

On page 80 in this book author provides an example that illustrates the fact that in the infinite dimensional spaces it may be not enough to have assumptions on the distribution of the individual summands $\xi_{i}$ in order to control the deviations of $\lVert {S_{1,n}}\rVert $, where $\lVert \cdot \rVert $ is the norm of corresponding Banach space. Namely, in his example 3.0.1 the space $c_0$ (with the norm $\|x\|_{\infty} = \sup_{n \in \mathbb N} |x^{(n)}|$) of real-valued convergent to zero sequences is considered.

My question: can't we also consider $l^{\infty} := \{x=(x^{(n)}) : \sup_{n\in \mathbb N}| x^{(n)}| \lt \infty\}$ (which is Banach space with respect to the norm $\|x\|_{\infty} = \sup_{n \in \mathbb N} |x^{(n)}|$) and just the sequences $\xi_{j} = (\xi_{j}^{j}, j \in \mathbb{N})$ (without additional log weight ) and $\xi_{j}^{i} = \frac{1}{2}\delta_{-1}+\frac{1}{2}\delta_{1}$ i.i.d in $i,j$ as in example 3.0.1 to illustrate the same fact?
