Interesting article on brakes
Warped Rotors Myth And how to extend their life: 4 Wheel mag. I'm sure some will not agree with it but it makes sense to my non-expert thoughts. It has nothing to do with 4WD by the way,
Forum Discussion
Below are links to old threads on this topic...
Basically, it is getting the friction material binders to cure them and then not allow that 'out gassing' to condense on a single spot of the rotor
But, an even layer on the whole swept surface. Best braking or highest co-efficient of friction is when friction material brakes on friction material (properly bedded in)
In the below links, the best at that time, was an article by StopTech, but they removed that and replaced it with this one: StopTech: The "Warped" Brake Disc and Other Myths of the Braking System

This image from StopTech is what this topic is about:
Only takes a few thousandths of an inch to make a high spot that the brake pad will have higher co-efficient of friction and 'try' to stop a bit better/faster....and....that will be felt in the brake pedal to your foot. Many think that is a warped rotor
Do disagree with most folks (and experts) that there is no such thing as a warped rotor...I've measured many that were out of spec (warped)
