Re: An Easy, Logical Solution to the Monty Hall Problem

Not so, as soon as Monty opens the door, its a two door game. I will
say why:

A game is, or ought to be in this case, defined or presented through
what counts as its winning manoeuvures, or manoevures designed to win
the game. Clearly ALL the winning manoevures are made with two doors -

SO it's a two door game.

Even though three doors occured earlier on in the show, the show is
not the same as the game.

So there is no game of chess, only lots of small games;
when I take a pawn, we move to a new game.

You'll have a hard time convincing the woman in the pub
(or Wittgenstein) that this is a natural view of what
constitutes a "game".
