Back To Back Flashing: Myth or Fact?

So I would like to pose this question to the experts about when they are going to install a custom ROM do you flash the same ROM back to back, is it really neccessary and how useful has it proven to be in preventing issues/problems.

Personally I haven't seen the benefit of this but I have read that it helps so what do you have to say?

If you always flash the same ROM (from the same chef) than, task29's and flashing the stock ROM inbetween is really not necessary. If that's what you were referring to..

It doesn't always help, but more times than not it's a more sure way IMO of not getting any odd issues that no one else seems to have with the same ROM version. And it only takes an extra 5 minutes so it can't really hurt. I've had a couple occasions where the ROM was a little unstable, and a second flash ironed it out, so I buy into the 2x flash method as a means of being more sure of a stable environment myself.
