Making changes to my .emacs never causes unexpected behavior. It does what I tell it to do. Looking through my .emacs I really can't think of anything that would cause the chaotic behavior you describe. And the only revert I see in the last 10 years of git history is a key binding change that I decided I didn't like after all. The only way I can see this happening is if you copy and paste random stuff from the internet without understanding it. But then what else could you expect.
