No, you don't understand. One of my players, the one who I loaned the starter set dice to, his dice are CURSED!What I'm saying is, those imperfections are not generally pronounced enough to make a statistical difference in practice.

The best company for dice is a beer and a bag of Doritos.
With regards to Game Science dice:
1) Take your average run of the mill Chessex or Crystal Caste or Q Workshop dice. Do some sample rolling. Let me know how many thousands and thousands of rolls you need to make before the statistical difference between them and Game Science dice manifests. I'll wait. In the meantime, I'll keep using my Chessex, Crystal Caste and Q Workshop dice.
2) Actually, using "casino design" dice and casino dice science doesn't necessarily work well for gaming anyway. Game Science dice are notorious for stopping after very few rolls, which isn't good for their vaunted randomness. In order to get a roll that's truly random, you need to have a casino-style table and you need to throw the dice all the way across it to bounce off the back edge, again, casino style, so that the dice roll sufficiently. If you're not doing this, all the pretentious "science" of Game Science dice is a moot point anyway.
[MENTION=2525]Mistwell[/MENTION] you don't find those dice from ebay very light almost as if they are hollow?
Just curios. I may buy some otherwise. The WizDice sets were cool but the ones I've used are very light weight, as if they were hollow. Not saying they were, just describing how they felt.
Nope. They're not hollow. You can see into them and see they're solid. They are very likely the identical dice to what you buy from some American companies - they're just importing them from that company.
