Well.... too-tight of headset bearings would cause wobbling too. There's a lot of self-correcting motion from the rake-angle/caster orientation. If bearings were too tight, the self-correcting can't occur and you'd get wobbling as well. You want it tight enough for no vertical movement, yet loose enough for smooth pivot action. Not easy to find that exact balance.
