You remain unconvinced that switching is pointless? Unlike most paradoxes, this is one where the intuitive answer is the correct one. It's a paradox because of the flawed, but convincing, reasoning that is given in favor of switching.
- hutzlibu 4y agoIs it? "No proposed solution is widely accepted as definitive." I mean for me this is totally a "cannot see the forest because of all the trees" situation and the intuitive solution is the right one. But I thought the same of the monty hall problem (back in school) and only was convinved, after I wrote a small program to simulate it, which confirmed it. But unlike in the monty hall problem, there is no new information here, when you are given the opportunity to switch. So the discussion seems weird to me.
- shp0ngle 4y agoThat means that no solution to the paradox is definitive, but also there is no argument. Switching back and forth obviously doesn’t have any positive. What they mean by “is not definitive” is what explanation is the definitive one.
