Usually what trips me up is a scenario like this, for example:
I have a reasonably busy mix and just want to try whether I should go a bit sparser, so I select a bunch of tracks and/or busses and toggle mute to see whether that would work better. Then I decide it doesn't work better, but that flute needs to come down a bit. Unfortunately that flute is still selected together with a bunch of other things and because I don't pay attention I'm now pulling all of them down.
Ok, this is somewhat simplified, in a case like this even I would probably hear that something's up.
But I've had cases where for one reason or another a muted track was still selected and off screen and I was tinkering with it without noticing.
And this might be totally me and my way of working but what would be ideal for me would be to invert the behaviour: i.e. Only when I hold shift what I do will get propagated to all selected tracks.
I do like the ability of ad-hoc grouping and I use it often deliberately, too. But unfortunately sometimes I do when I don't mean it.
Or, to put it bluntly: I don't want to have to check what is selected every time before I make a change.
But if I /do/ want to make a change to more than one thing, I'm obviously happy to check that the correct things are selected.
Just my 2p
