Subject: RE: BS: Monty Hall Problem
I didn't actually point this out before, because I thought it might be another unnecessary source of confusion, but the phrase 'the odds where the car is' should really be 'the odds of choosing the car given that you have no information beyond that observable in the immediate physical situation'. It is not really meaningful to talk about the odds of where the car is without reference to the information you have available.

But as Rev B suggested, it is probably (*grin*) a good idea if I bow out of this thread.
