Thread Name: BS: Monty Hall Problem
Subject: RE: BS: Monty Hall Problem
Still not answering then gnu? I'm not changing the subject. There are a whole series of games, played with 3 doors and showing 1; 4 doors and showing 2; 5 doors and showing 3 and all the up to and beyond using 52 doors and showing 50, which is isomorphic to the deck of cards example. Whatever logic applies to the 52 applies to 51, 50, 49 ... all the way down to 3 doors and showing 1. All that adding extra doors does is make it more and more obvious that your argument is flawed. Which I am convinced you already know. Hence the somewhat wild attempts to say a question in a format commonly used in real-life and online forums is not one you were invited to answer, or that the logic differs whether we use a goat or a playing card.

So, no, thanks for the invitation, but while we are discussing Monty and its implications I will stay here.
