Well in that situation it's still beneficial to switch, unless the probability of being in the first scenario is exactly zero.

- ubercow13 6y agoYou’re forgetting about the possibility of being in a universe where Monty only opens a door if you chose the correct door originally (otherwise he does something else like ending the game). If you know nothing about the rule set of the game show, Monty opening the door tells you nothing and you have no reason to either switch or not switch.

That said, though, if you're trying to convince someone of the correctness of the Monty Hall Problem, and they're stuck on that misconception, saying "well you may as well switch in case I'm right" isn't a great argument.
