The role of probability in solving the Monty Hall problem
#14
RE: The role of probability in solving the Monty Hall problem
I can't prove a negative. You have to prove that it does, not the other way around. And if you proved that it did work, you would have proven a trustworthy pattern and you would have good reason to rely on probability. But until then you don't have any pattern, no proof that it works and no reason to use probability to make your choice.
