When have A/B comparisons led you astray?


I am curious how others have made A/B comparisons within their systems. What errors are encountered in this test? How do you avoid them?
I often think of my stereo system as a pair of ski goggles. Have you ever worn a pair of amber ski goggles all day and then been shocked at the colors presented to you when you take them off?
How does this phenomenon translate into the realm of sound?

I listen to something and form an immediate opinion. Then the other thing. Then i go back to the first one and listen longer. Then i think about it. Going back to the firat one/option is the onlyway to decide if a change was an imorovement or not. I tend to NOt do a/b comparos anyway. i just change stuff. period, and don't worry about it. If I decide later to put it back, who cares?
Audiophile indecision/fretting over minute differences is a terrible disease.
