I had this silly argument with the WOV geniuses who claimed a robot could not be built to throw two dice the same way each and every time. I told them if a Robot could be built to land on Mars or land on a comet, a robot could be built to throw two dice the same way each and every time.
And... once you have that robot that can throw two dice the same way each and every time, the two dice would show the same result each and every time because of the basic law of physics: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So you set two dice and throw them the same way and the end result of those two dice will always be the same since the table is a fixed environment that will not change. (Yes, throw the dice in a vacuum if you must so air currents don't impact them.)
The point is, with a controlled throw two dice will perform the way you want them to perform. The issue is, can a human have that control?
