The name of the problem is obviously taken from the real game show, but the real show did not work like in the thought experiment. So you cant just apply game show logic. The “monty hall problem” (in the form stated in the article) is really a trick question, since it hinges on some assumptions which is never stated. Even when stated correctly, the problem is a fun and counter-intuitive problem. But when leaving out critical information, you create a very differet problem of guessing what the unstated assumptions are.
