Yeah, and it’s so very easy to make a weighted die. Why don’t teachers switch to talking about weighted dice when explaining biased variables? You can label the sides of a six sided die with three 1s and three 2s to get a binary die easily enough. Just seems weird that something which is very physically difficult to ever make exist, and almost certainly nobody in the class has ever seen would be chosen as a teaching example over something which does exist and could even be made into a physical object for in-class demonstrations!
