not sure why people keep saying this. The correct statement would be rotors rarely warp, and it's more likely there's deposits on the rotors, but you can't know without checking them.
How do I know that rotors do in fact warp? I run a machine shop and have personally put suspect rotors of mine on a lathe and indicated the run out.
An indicator making a perfect symetrical sweep between -.008 and +.008 back and forth over and over is not pad deposits, it's run out.
Happens to any rotating machine part over time.
