agreed. Really scrutinize the inside surface of the tire, it takes but a tiny bit of grit on a high pressure tube/tire and it'll go flat. Another consideration is the tube getting pinched under the bead during install. You can reduce the odds of this by doing the tube install, pumping it up a little, letting air out to flat again and then going round the rim squeezing the bead away from the rim inch by inch, making sure the tube did not get pinched anywhere. Yet another consideration is the tire slipping on the rim; lightly talc the tube before install. Another possibility is simply insufficient air pressure, esp if you're a bigger person, giving you a pinch flat say over bumps/potholes. Make sure you are up near max psi for your tire make. Lastly, if it's the latter, consider too using the plain jane weight tubes instead of ultralight material tubes if not already.
