My point was that the experts were blinded by arrogance. Even back then most ( almost all? ) statisticians were capable of understanding the monte hall problem. Yet they just assumed that a woman was wrong when she explained something that didn’t match their intuition. Instead of stopping to think, they let their arrogance take over and just assumed they were right.
