MAB seems to find a local maxima subject to input biases whereas an AB test is aimed to figure out a scientific truth and isolates out all potential biases in the system. I'd be curious to hear where a MAB approach and an AB test did not yield the same results and why that happened.

AB testing doesn’t eliminate time based biases such as novelty of new features, special events, pay day, tax day, etc.

  Sure - my point is that you could design the experiment such that it could. It's much more scientific.
