Its a question of whether the load is actually distributed according to the design. A 4 legged stool can easily be in a situation where two of the legs are taking most of the load, especially on an uneven floor surface. Think about how easy it can be to rock back and forth and feel weight shift between two of the legs. That means two legs are carrying most of the load, and the third leg is only taking the load needed to stabilise the chair, while the fourth leg might not be doing anything at all. A 3 legged stool is only stable if all three legs touch the ground, and thus the load is always evenly spread.
Much needed lecture!

good engineers can deal with complex ideas from the arcitects if they work together

Can anyone explain how 4 legged chair has larger load in the leg compared to 3 legged chair?
