The issue of quantum size effects of interactive electron-hole systems in spherical semiconductor quantum dots is put to question. A sharper theoretical approach is suggested based on a new pseudo-potential method. In this new setting, analytical computations can be performed in most intermediate steps lending stronger support to the adopted physical assumptions. The resulting numerical values for physical quantities are found to be much closer to the experimental values than those existing so far in the literature.
