Another way to help account for those type of issues is to have the test repeated. OVER and OVER and OVER again. I do a lot of research studies for the Air Force Research lab, and I'll often do the same studies 5-15 times, and they'll do their statistics things with all that raw data. It accounts for the newness factor, and also people tend to deviate towards the median over time.
