Caitlin,

Your need to shout "wrong" in all caps underlines the weakness of your argument.

My point about "stability" is not "spin." It's just good English, being offered to you by a professional writer, editor, and English professor.

"Stability" means, among other things:

"Immunity from destruction or essential change; enduring quality."

and

"Permanence of arrangement; power of resisting change of structure."

Status quo means "The existing state of affairs."

"The existing state of affairs" is what will be maintained if change is resisted.

Ergo, Stability MEANS the tendency to maintain the status quo. That is one of the main definitions of the word "stability."

Shout all you like, but you will not change this. Language, too, has a certain degree of stability.
