Why would the four legged stool be more likely to rock from side to side?

Compared to a 3-legged stool it would. Consider the 3 or 4 points where the bottom of the legs make contact with the floor (which need not be even). Any three points are always in one plane so all points of contact for a 3-legged stool will always lie in the plane, thereby preventing rocking. Four points need not be coplanar and if they are not, the stool will rock.

Why is three legged stool stronger than a four legged chair?
it isnt It is not stronger. True, a 3-leg will not wobble because 3 points define a plane. However, a 3-legged table will tip over more easily than a 4-legged table. I suspect some science guru has done the physics on this and can prove what I say.

Why is a three legged stool not rock as much as a four legged stool?
Three points are the minimum required to define a geometric Plane. Any 3-legged stool, then, can only exist on a single Plane, and cannot alternate between any two Planes (i.e., rock). By combining any 3 of the 4 or more legs on the stool could define a separate plane on which the stool could stand. There are 4 separate configurations of 3 legs upon which a 4-legged table could stand: ABC AB D A CD BCD

Why does the Eiffel Tower have four pillars?
The Eiffel towers has four pillars for stability, and to give it a symetrical aspect. The design was the object of a contest and only a four-legged design was considered at the time. Technically it would have been possible to build a resembling structure with only three pillars (like a three-legged stool instead).
