Is there mathematical proof for this? It sounds like it could be true, but also sounds like you could actively create a floor which it wasn't true for
Yes there is. The wobbly table theroem. https://people.math.harvard.edu/~knill/teaching/math1a_2011/exhibits/wobblytable/
I'm pretty sure this doesn't account for any floor that isn't a flat plane.
It doesn't require a flat plane ground, but it does require the table legs to be equal in length

This is one of those things that works in a simulated environment but not in practice in the real world.
It does work in the real world, as long as the floor is the problem, and the table is perfect.
Most of the time at a restaurant, it's the table that's been beaten up and is no longer even.
