random vs. non-random rolls

I'm cutting and pasting a comment by Stein Kulseth from a post in another thread here because I feel it is worth discussing and may easily be missed by many readers since it is now well down the list.

...(The following) goes for basically any dice throw that is not intentionally rigged. If it is poorly shaken, and poorly thrown, yielding unequal probabilities for the 6 outcomes - it still does not matter, if the thrower has no way of knowing or controlling which numbers ends up being the more probable.

Thoughts?
