Shim Mystery

I was replacing the old TV we use for PlayStation, but before putting the other TV (that moved from the living room when we bought the new big TV) on the table, I noticed the table wobbling to a dangerous degree. Uncharacteristically, I decided to do a little prevention before putting more weight on the table.

I noticed a shim under one leg, so got down to adjust it. Then I noticed another shim under another leg, and then another shim under a third leg.

I removed ALL the shims and the table sits balanced.

There was a fourth shim in Dallas that day.

I'm well aware of the whole "Magic Shim" theory, but I put about as much faith in that as I do the "original sin" theory.
