tester can give you a more scientific answer.
We don't really need science, we just need a broom handle. Hold one out in front of yourself with one hand and ask a friend to try to tilt it. Now grab it with your second hand at some reasonable distance from your first hand and make his job ten times harder :)
gbj_tester-
Yeah, but a broomhandle is long, a stem clamping bit isn't, so the difference isn't all that.
I therefore move that if a stem is a bit hip hop but only has 1 bolt it's ok to use, because hip hop defeats science erytym.

It's stopped from turning due to the headset at either end of the headtube if it's preloaded though no?
Edit: tilting not turning
Hefty

It's just going to put pressure on a focused point. Two or more will spread the clamping load and be more secure. Sure @mdcc_tester can give you a more scientific answer.
Probably be fine though
