We would like to draw attention to some observational data which should not be neglected, in our opinion, in developing spiral structure theories. Some of these results demonstrate Le Chatelier principle well-known in physics. According to this principle, any physical process is proceeding to cancel its cause. Localization of galactic disks near the marginal curves of various instabilities shown below indicates the important role that these instabilities play in evolutionary processes of disks.
