Define the terms "stable" and "unstable", how you measure said
"stability" and "instability", and what you are comparing them
against.

Only then can people understand what you are talking about, and can
any kind of meaningful dialog occur.

Right now, you are saying one thing, people are hearing another, and
responding with something else.

Oh, and be sure to back things up with actual data, otherwise there's
no point in going any further with this.
