Yes, one wants to eliminate uncontrolled variables to test the dice in relative isolation. However, you also need to confirm the results hold up under real world circumstances as you may have accidentally eliminated key factors in how dice behave in the real world. 
Do you want to determine if the dice are “theoretically” fair when laboratory tested? Or if they are actually fair when used in real life? I think both types of test have their place.
