There is no doubt that expectation bias exists, many truly scientific experiments have demonstrated the phenomena. However, there have been many times I have auditioned audio kit and the final conclusions have been very different to my initial expectation. Possibly this indicates that I am immune to expectation bias, or possibly it indicates I am slightly insane.
One of the counter-intuitive things about expectation bias is that when you find your expectations are confounded by your experience, it doesn't mean expectation bias isn't occurring. It may be happening unconsciously. Most cognitive biases are unconscious.
All of which doesn't mean you aren't slightly insane. In a good way.
