The article states no higher sided fair dice can exist:
"“ultimate fair die allowed by Mother Nature (i.e., mathematics!),” since a die couldn’t, practically speaking, possess more sides or more symmetry, and dice must be symmetrical to be fair."
Mathematicians is this true ? Or only "practically speaking".
