Backgammon Dice are NEVER precision dice

In Response To: Backgammon Dice are NEVER precision dice (Phil Simborg)

What you say about rounded corners makes sense, but it doesn't mean the imprecision is excessive for our needs. The results from rolling a die thousands of times is indicative but never determinative.

Even for an electronic die, I would not expect rolling it 6,000 times to produce exactly 1,000 of each number. So I think what we want to know is the variance that emerged from testing precision dice compared to the variance from electronic dice.
