My professor for statistics (he was quite famous in the field) talked about Monty Hall, but made clear that he will not give a solution because of science-political reasons.
I am incredibly curious what he meant by "science-political reasons."
Me too, but he refused to explain. I think there must have been a time where choosing a side was able to end friendships.
Bringing up Monty Hall at a table full of tech people has always resulted in an argument that will not end until one person gets the rest of us to admit we are wrong and changing doors is the same probability as staying with the same door.
