Well Legolas, look at the numbers and forget about statistics: the truth is that if there are 1000 doors and you switch your first choice, you will win 99,9 % of the times. You cant argue that. The thing that changes the probability is that the host KNOWS where is the prize, and he cant open that door. The 50/50 thing would be if you DIDNT know which door is your RANDOM choice and which door is the host´s FORCED choice.
