The difference between "Ahh, the new changes must have gone live!" and "Ahh, some new changes must have gone live!" is negligible in this case I think. The problem was that you didn't think before you opened up the site "The new changes are probably up by now" and thus there's still a surprise involved.

And thanks for finding a name to where our disagreements lie. I object strongly to live testing.

You are not alone there. I think that a failure to communicate about that was the biggest issue here, and doing it at all was the second.

For what it's worth, I too was surprised, but it was a pleasant surprise. "Ah, the changes have finally gone live, awesome!"
