... made less precise by cutting off the corners

In Response To: Data (Phil Simborg)

You still don't know that. You're conflating two uses of the word "precision." One to describe the standard required by the gaming industry and one to describe the precision of the manufactured product. From your original post; "Once the corners are rounded they no longer become precision dice as far as the gaming industry is concerned. There is no specification nor does a specification exist for rounded precision dice tolerances and measurements." This doesn't mean that the dice are less accurate, just that the gaming industry (which does not use dice with rounded corners) does not have criteria for dice with rounded corners.
