We all do it sometimes. Best way to get yourself out of that loop is to make side by sides. A comparison to learn by and share with others. Example: 2001-2003 cents were all larger in size if the devices. (Now we know that the widening of the master hub, will enlarge the devices for years sometimes) S comparisons with other year cents, you could convince yourself that they are doubled dies. But a side by side comparison with cents of the same years, then you rule out mistakes, before/during the time you make a false claim. But admitting, your error, you advance knowledge that you figured out yourself. I've used side by sides through the years to conclude/ debunk topics. Seeing it is a better argument, than words. But learning something new, is teaching yourself something is/is not new. So we are all learning, but some not as fast as others. So don't consider the post a waste, you just learned/taught yourself something you figured out yourself.
But there is a Doubled die on the 2001 cent:
