Stable as a Table

But what if it's a really old, wobbly table? The idea of this piece is to be a contradiction and authority. Something looking very unstable, being called stable, and then proving it's stability by relating it to an unknown. Do you believe it is stable because you were told or do you continue to question...can you decide without feeling the object for yourself? At what point are you comfortable stating what you believe?

What do you believe, why do you believe, and at what point are you confident enough to stand atop those beliefs...that, I suppose, is the basis of this piece at it's very core.
