“In Monty Hall, you’re just making a guess and no matter how clever you are about it, it’s still just a guess. There is no strategy because the game doesn’t last long enough for strategy to matter.”
The point is that the discussions are not always related to a misunderstanding about the protocol followed by the host to open a door.
