So what's the REAL problem?

In Response To: Meyer Dice Tube (Stick)

I just love it when people (here and elsewhere) feign scientific objectivism when their real motivation is pandering to their own religious, mystical, supernatural beliefs. OK, maybe you're one of my accused and maybe you're not, but this thread has a can of worms who fit the bill. Take your pick. (And, BTW, good luck with that experiment to determine statsig; been there, done that. Prop?)

Of all the dice rolled in US and European tournaments (segregate them or not -- what's a little more subjectivism here?) in the past year, how many of them were non-random? That's the real question, and it can't be answered, but maybe we can put bounds on it.

There are ways to get truly random rolls, and we all know how that can be done, and we all know how it can be certified, but I wonder how many of these 'scientists' here would accept it.

Let's first try and decide if we have a problem, without resorting to beliefs in telekinesis, religion, or aesthetics for EITHER fricking side of the argument! Then if we have a problem, let's go to the true solution which is beating us over the head.
