Monty Hall doesn't make any sense and we've all been coerced to go along with it

>uh but actually it's demonstrable that your odds increase from 1/3 to 2/3 if you swap doors
No!
You're exchanging one chance for another, it's 50/50 regardless. The system is broken and everyone's too afraid to point it out because the consequences are dire

I would say you could get a friend and have them pretend to be Monty hall and run the problem a few dozens times with you, but I am guessing someone so hopelessly contraian as yourself has no friends.

Sure, but this is a public site. So the try to rot your brain anyhow. Evolution, BigBang, Relativity, Flatearth, MoonHoax, etc etc are in that line. Nearly everything that promotes here is a lie, truth is ignored, banned or pruned/deleted.

Run a simulation a few dozen times and see for yourself.

OK sure

I encounter two doors with no prior context
One door is right, one door is wrong
Someone has randomly pre-selected a door for me
A simulation demonstrates it's always a 50% chance, whether I stick with the pre-selected door, or change my choice

Again, actually try it empirically rather than just theorizing.
