Think we'll have to agree to disagree - but I'd like to know of
examples where these guidelines were met, but the rig was still
unstable.

My '89 Dodge Caravan and ASH 26 E trailer meets all your rules and is
stable at 60 mph. At 70 mph, it's starting to quiver, and I've never
dared go faster. So, is the rig "stable" or "unstable"?
